There's profit to be made when you position against the crowd. The mass of retail traders tends to move in one direction, but that's often where the real money isn't. Take $ZCASH for instance—while most follow the herd mentality, smart traders spot the asymmetric opportunities. It's a game of contrarian thinking. When everyone's bullish, that's the time to question. When panic selling hits, that's when conviction matters. The key is doing your homework instead of copying what everyone else does.

NGL reverse operations sound simple, but in reality, they're really difficult to execute. Most people are still likely to get caught off guard.

Nah, this theory sounds good, but in reality, most retail investors doing reverse operations are completely losing money.

Sounds nice, but it's just to make the retail investors reverse their positions to let the big players offload their holdings.

Zcash indeed got caught off guard this time. The reverse operation is correct, but it's really difficult...

Reverse operations sound easy to do, but actually doing them is really difficult. You need a strong mindset.
