💥ETH suddenly skyrocketed by 30%? Don’t be fooled! This is not a bull market, nor a technological revolution—it's all manipulation! Recently, ETH surged crazily, jumping 3% in 3 minutes to reach $4200, while Bitcoin remained totally still. Strangely, there were no significant technological upgrades, nor was there a widespread bullish atmosphere; instead, on-chain data revealed the truth: this is capital manipulating the market to reap profits! 🔍 Manipulation techniques are just these two tricks 1. Closed-loop harvesting by listed companies: Companies like SBET first raise funds in the US stock market, then announce they are “buying ETH like crazy” to create hype, and when the price rises, they use the appreciated ETH as collateral to refinance and continue buying—transferring from one hand to the other, leveraging $1 billion to move a $100 billion market. 2. Whales buying low and selling high: Before the surge, a mysterious address accumulated 12,000 ETH (average price $36,600), then suddenly pushed the price up to force shorts to cover, quietly selling when retail investors chase the highs. Recently, over 100,000 accounts across the network have been liquidated, all trapped this way. ❌ Why say this is not a bull market/technological good news? • Technical aspect: No upgrade news at all, DeFi and Layer2 have no new actions; • Market aspect: Bitcoin is not correlated, altcoins are not rotating, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts can't support “ETH standing out alone”; • Logic error: If it were true good news, BTC would lead, but now only ETH is rising, which is clearly abnormal. 🛡️ Retail investors' survival tips 1. Never chase highs! 99% of sudden surges are traps to lure buyers, especially do not FOMO when BTC is consolidating; 2. Monitor on-chain data: Watch whale holdings, USDT fluctuations, and avoid the “accumulation→surge→selling” trick; 3. Light positions + stop-loss: Play with a maximum of 5% position, run immediately if it breaks key levels, don’t gamble on liquidation. Essentially, this is capital’s harvesting technique packaged as “institutional entry.” Remember: surges come quickly and leave even faster, protecting your principal is more important than anything else! Have you encountered this kind of “illogical surge”? What was the outcome?
