$ALPACA The greatest operation, so awesome, contracts delisted, spot trading starts to surge

Trump's Three-Month Stint: Issuing Coins, Engaging in DeFi, and Investing in Mining Companies - Is He Setting Up the "Trump Federal Reserve"?

In his first three months in office, Trump has been very active in the crypto space: issuing his own coin Trump, his wife launching the #MELANIA token, developing the DeFi protocol WLFI, also issuing the stablecoin $USD1, and his son investing in the mining company Hut8Corp. It almost seems like he is trying to create a 'Trump Federal Reserve' system. ​​​

The current situation of BTC is a bit delicate: there are too many short positions piled up around 96,500, reaching a level where a slight movement could lead to liquidation. This is very similar to the situation when it broke through 85,000 with short positions clustering. However, the liquidity gap between 97k and 98k has not been filled yet, so in the short term, it is very likely that the shorts around 96,500 will be swept away, but whether it can surge above 98k with this momentum is still uncertain.

I personally think there may be two scenarios:

1️⃣ Data-driven stimulus: After the macro data (small non-farm payroll, GDP) is released on Wednesday and Thursday, the price might quickly spike to clear out the shorts around 96,500, then pull back, returning to the current range for further consolidation. After that, it will depend on how the new long and short positions are distributed before Friday to determine if it really has reached a bottom.

2️⃣ Reverse ambush: If the market perceives the data as negative after it is released, the price might directly drop, skipping the liquidation of the 96,500 shorts. However, if after this pullback, the longs do not rush to add positions and the leverage is not too high, there is a possibility that it could rise again, specifically targeting those shorts that have not been liquidated.

The key point is the big non-farm payroll and unemployment rate data on Friday, which will likely cause the market to swing wildly, even playing a trick of "first clearing out the shorts and then crashing the market." In terms of trading, do not be too aggressive, especially avoid heavily shorting around 96,500, as you may be targeted by the market makers.

That being said, if Ethereum could surge like Alpaca...
So Ethereum is garbage.

Let's analyze the recent manipulative operations by the $ALPACA market makers, treating retail investors like grass to be harvested! After reviewing, it's all strategies; everyone, keep your eyes wide open.

High-energy timeline throughout:
1️⃣ Starting from April 19, the market makers began secretly stockpiling spot and opening long contracts; remember this date, as it foreshadows everything that follows!

2️⃣ On the 24th, when BN announced the delisting of contracts and spot trading, the market makers immediately made small moves: they first slightly increased the coin price, deliberately letting retail investors 'see the opportunity; it's rising, not falling, six hundred sixty-six'.

3️⃣ On the 25th, they aggressively pumped the price, drawing the attention of retail investors, luring them into buying in while simultaneously encouraging them to short-sell. At this point, the funding rates plummeted to negative numbers; the market makers quietly profited from the fee differences, treating retail investors like ATMs.

4️⃣ On the 26th, when the price reached a new high, the first wave of short contracts directly went bankrupt, and the market makers joyfully collected the first wave of blood money.

5️⃣ On the 27th, they suddenly crashed the market, first harvesting a batch of retail investors, then deliberately allowing the short sellers to 'see hope', attracting more short positions, pushing the funding rates even higher, waiting for the next round of harvesting.

6️⃣ On the 28th, they pumped the price again, washing out the first batch of investors who chased the high, while the second batch of short sellers faced liquidation. The higher the price, the more retail investors felt 'they could profit from shorting', jumping straight into the trap.

7️⃣ On the 29th, they crashed the market again, harvesting another round of retail investors, and even if the short sellers earned a bit of fee over the days, their principal had already lost tremendously, and the crash couldn’t save them.

8️⃣ Here comes the key point! Today (30th), everyone knows about the market makers' operations; they violently pumped the price again, directly pushing it to a historical high, deliberately making retail investors feel 'it can still rise', deceiving the last batch of short sellers into the market. By 5 PM, as the delisting approached, the market makers will directly crash the floor, completing the final harvesting and leaving with the retail investors' money!

The entire process is a textbook calculation of human nature: greed, luck, the desire to bottom-fish... all played out by the market makers. Remember this operation; next time you see a combination of 'sudden price pump + delisting news + funding rate manipulation', run fast and don’t fuel the market makers!

The current cryptocurrency market is like a pot of porridge! AI casually creates a gimmick to issue tokens, and some people rush in like crazy; scammers boldly issue tokens, and there are still people brave enough to believe, unhesitatingly throwing their money in; those project teams that have already scammed several rounds of investors change their guise to issue tokens, and a large number of people still follow suit, investing their savings without blinking an eye.

Are these people really forgetful, or are they blinded by money? Getting scammed again and again by the same tricks, jumping into the fire pit repeatedly. Have the painful lessons of being left with nothing after being scammed been completely forgotten? Do they have to hit rock bottom to realize it's time to turn back?

Let's organize and later review ALPACA Llama Dog Farm's operations.

This silly coin $ALPACA tells all traders the truth: what truly determines price fluctuations is absolute strength and chips. All that nonsense about candlesticks and technical indicators is just auxiliary; we are all just retail investors.
The price increase is merely a thought from the big players, which is why when I trade coins, I not only look at technical indicators but also research the capital chips of the big players.
This kind of coin knows it will be delisted, it's purely a setup, so there is no one who can guarantee success in trading coins; we can only aim for the larger direction. If we get a profit, those claiming to have a surefire strategy are just scammers looking to take advantage of retail investors.

$ALPACA is so exciting, it's like they are throwing money around with selling and buying, just for fun, after wiping out the bulls, they come back to wipe out the bears.

Friends in the crypto world, have you ever had an experience of being scammed?

According to BlockBeats news, an annual report released by a security agency on April 29 shows that fraudulent activities in the crypto sector surged in 2024, with blockchain addresses related to scams experiencing explosive growth in stablecoin capital inflows. Data indicates that the scale of funds involved that year reached $52.5 billion, surpassing the total from 2021 to 2023.

It is noteworthy that on-chain freezing operations of stablecoins have significantly increased. In 2024, leading stablecoin issuers (such as Tether and Circle) cumulatively froze over $1.3 billion in stablecoins on the Ethereum and Tron networks, reaching twice the total of the previous three years, reflecting the industry's increasing cooperation with law enforcement and regulation.

From a regulatory perspective, major global institutions are shifting their attitude towards cryptocurrencies from wait-and-see to proactive engagement, promoting the industry towards standardization and transparency. Taking Hong Kong as an example, its compliance policy has established a safer and more controllable crypto ecosystem by clarifying the legal framework, enhancing customer asset protection, cracking down on illegal trading, attracting institutional funds, and aligning with international standards. This transition not only reduces direct financial losses from hacker attacks and platform risks but also indirectly reduces industry risks by enhancing market trust and stability.

Good morning everyone
The market is currently showing a high-level fluctuation trend, and the aviation sector has reached the upper band of the Bollinger Bands. The candlestick pattern has formed a hammer and a bullish engulfing combination, indicating a possibility of a rebound in the short term. However, given that we are approaching the monthly candlestick closing point, market uncertainty has significantly increased, and it is essential to set stop-loss orders while trading. Bitcoin can be shorted when it rebounds to around 950 - 955, targeting 93000; Ethereum can be shorted when it rebounds to around 1820 - 1840, targeting 1780.

Previously, holding the $TRUMP token allowed you to dine with Trump. Now, as long as your TRUMP holdings rank in the top four, you will not only get the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with Trump, but also receive a limited edition Trump commemorative tourbillon watch! Only 147 pieces of this watch have been issued globally, and number #1 is personally held by Trump, making it highly collectible.

I have to say, you're really something, King of Understanding, well done!

Recently, a large whale that has shorted ETH multiple times near $1800 sold 10,510.8 ETH (approximately $19.21 million) bought last night at a price of $1828.1 in the past one and a half hours.
This brother's 'if you can't beat them, join them' strategy has indeed worked, with this operation making a profit of about $261,000, which is quite astute.

Why is it said that financial freedom relies more on investment than on work?
Work can easily create an illusion of "stability," making one believe that every bit of income comes from immediate labor. However, once unemployed, the income chain is broken, and life can become instantly unbalanced, even leading to passivity. Over time, people become accustomed to exchanging time for money, trapped in a cycle of "striving for others' goals."

Investment is different; it helps individuals break free from the mindset of "linear input." The essence of market fluctuations is the pricing of "impermanence," and mastering this uncertainty is key to developing risk awareness and asset planning capabilities. Especially in volatile areas like cryptocurrency, rationally balancing desires and building a risk-resistant system is essential for wealth accumulation to escape the "human limit" and truly move towards freedom—not only on a financial level but also in terms of controlling one's life.

You will really laugh at this picture

Picked up the sickle

Just saw an interesting piece of news, feeling that whales and institutions are quietly hoarding ETH. In the past 3 hours, wallets related to Cumberland have transferred 27,632 ETH from major platforms like Copper, Binance, and Coinbase, worth approximately 50.24 million USD.

This operation is quite thought-provoking. Generally speaking, when large institutions make such significant moves, it might be an indication of positioning for a long-term market. ETH has recently had upgrade expectations, and with mainstream funds continuously focusing on the crypto market, such large transfers might be institutions preemptively hoarding, waiting for the subsequent market to kick off.

Breaking News:

South Korea plans to approve spot cryptocurrency ETF trading later this year.

The core of the dealer's wash is to clear floating chips, common techniques and key points of identification:
1. Smash-style wash

• Sudden drop of 5%-10%, breaking key support levels, significant large order sell-off

• Key: A quick rebound after a drop, with volume not continuously expanding indicates a wash, while the opposite indicates risk

2. Sideways oscillation wash

• Narrow fluctuations (3%-5%), false breaks, testing patience

• Response: Pay attention to breaks in the range, a significant upward volume may signal a start

3. Needle-like wash

• Instantaneous sharp drop leaving a long lower shadow, quickly pulling back

• Key: Stabilizing at the original support level indicates a wash, breaking the level requires caution

4. News-related wash

• Spreading short-term negative news, taking advantage of panic selling

• Response: Verify the truthfulness of the news, rumors leading to declines may present a low-buy opportunity

Distinction between wash and unloading

• Main force control: Stable position during wash, significant outflow of chips during unloading

• Liquidity: Stable pool of funds during wash, large withdrawals accompany unloading

• Trend: Wash does not disrupt long-term upward trends, unloading leads to trend reversal

Core logic: Wash "scares away" retail investors, unloading "traps" retail investors; declines with low volume and rapid corrections are often signs of wash, patiently holding chips can catch the main upward wave.
