From the perspective of contract holdings, the RIVER token cannot be pushed down in the short term. Based on the current pace, it will take at least another ten days to half a month before a noticeable adjustment occurs.

Why do I make this judgment? The institutions just raised a round of funding, and they won't stop so quickly. Their ambitions are definitely greater.

Let's also look at liquidity — the token pool is only over 1 million, which is alarmingly small. For a pool of this size, the funding rate can't be controlled at all. Institutions can manipulate the market as they wish. The price of 17 is definitely not the ceiling; 30 or even 50 are within the possible range.

In simple terms, institutions have the money and patience, while retail investors can't keep up with this pace. For them, a longer rally cycle doesn't matter as long as they can cash out at the end. We are currently in a critical buildup phase, and the future direction depends on contract data and capital movements.

The pool is only around 1 million, which is indeed a joke. Institutions can easily manipulate the market with a single large buy or sell. --- Wait, are you sure 17 isn't the top? I feel like the signals indicating a breakdown are already appearing. --- I've listened to the accumulation phase hundreds of times, but how many actually make money from it? --- Half a month? I bet five bucks that it will start to plunge next week. Don't come back and say it's just a shakeout then. --- Liquidity is really poor, that's true. But 30, 50? You're dreaming. --- Institutions have patience, and so do we—just not enough money, haha. --- Did you understand the contract data? Don't just guess blindly. --- Every time it's the critical accumulation period, it’s making my ears calloused from listening. --- But to be fair, small pools are indeed easier to manipulate. That logic checks out. --- Raising funds ≠ necessarily pulling the market. Your logic is a bit naive.

Institutions aren't satisfied yet, retail investors, don't rush to run away --- The pool is too shallow, this is just an ATM --- 30 bucks? I don't think even 50 can be withdrawn, it all depends on how long they want to play --- During the accumulation phase, don't mess around, just honestly watch the candlestick charts --- Having money and patience truly allows you to do whatever you want, we can only follow and eat the soup --- To be honest, 1 million in liquidity is a bit outrageous, they can pump it as high as they want

Institutions are not in a hurry at all. Why should we retail investors be anxious... The pool is so small that it was doomed from the start.

Only around 1 million? That's why institutions can freely manipulate the market, and retail investors can only watch the show. Why are you in such a hurry? The accumulation phase is still early, and $30 is a safe bet.

The institutions' moves look really aggressive; with such a shallow pool, retail investors can't compete with them. Institutions really aren't short on money. Retail investors, just wait. It's only a matter of time. 50? Dream on. I think 30 is already a stretch, but who knows. This kind of small pool is the most annoying. You can't even run away if you want to. Let's wait and see the data. Anything we say now is just talking empty.

Institutions are really ruthless this time, small pools are just a cash machine. --- Wait, 50 bucks? Are you serious, bro? --- Retail investors are just here to pay tuition to institutions, nothing else. --- Half a month? I bet five bucks it will liquidate early. --- I've heard this logic too many times, and every time it turns out the opposite. --- How is the pool of over one million still not running away? --- Contract data explains everything. I believe RIVER can stay stable. --- Definitely a scythe harvesting machine setup.

The pool is so small that once the risk control threshold is triggered, it will lead to a chain of liquidations... Institutional control is about controlling the market, but what about systemic risk?
