Are retail investors just here to get cut?

No, the problem isn't that absolute. The real root cause is—always following the rhythm and losing composure.

Look at those who are losing money in the market; they are often not because they haven't experienced a market, but because they simply don't understand what the main players are thinking. Staring fixedly at the K-line fluctuations, getting excited when it looks bullish, panicking when it looks bearish.

The most common trick is: smashing the price to absorb the chips.

The price is suddenly hammered down, and what is the first reaction of retail investors? Not calmly analyzing the trend structure, but only one word in their mind—escape. Afraid that waiting even a second longer will lead to blood loss. As a result, they cry and cut their losses, while the big players quietly scoop up at the bottom.

Once the chips are concentrated, the main force isn't stupid enough to immediately push the price up.

Instead, they enter a long period of stalemate. The direction is unclear, oscillations repeat, sometimes fake-out upward, sometimes scare you downward. Most retail investors are most likely to lose their temper during this period, always feeling they've judged wrong, and end up selling at a position they shouldn't have.

When the market sentiment is almost exhausted, the price begins to rise slowly.

At this point, trading volume starts to swell, looking like new funds are entering, and the market is about to take off. Chasing the high, people rush in one after another.

True experts won't rush to offload their chips at this time.

They continue pushing upward while deliberately smashing orders—creating the illusion of large sell orders, forcing you to obediently hand over your chips. Meanwhile, they keep unloading their inventory during this process. Once enough follow-up orders are in, they sit at the top and distribute widely.

In simple terms, the reason the main force can cut and cut again is because they have mastered two human weaknesses:

When prices fall, you are terrified; when prices rise, you are greedier than ever.

To avoid being cut multiple times, the key isn't to gamble on the rise or fall,

but to control your own rhythm:

Don't overturn your entire judgment with a single K-line; don't be carried away by emotions. Learn to read the market structure, identify key positions, wait patiently when needed, and act decisively when it's time.

Whether this round of market can gradually turn around, and where these coins go,

actually depends not on the market, but entirely on yourself.

If you get the rhythm right, you can avoid many unnecessary detours during the downturn.
