#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 K-line can deceive you, but real gold and silver won't. The 3 trading signals that market makers fear most for retail traders to understand.

When I first entered the crypto space, I was also glued to the chart every day, watching the ups and downs. As a result, I kept getting liquidated by institutions, and my account balance kept shrinking. Only later did I realize that the logic used by experts and retail traders is fundamentally different.

The following 3 signals are real patterns I have repeatedly verified in my trading. Relying on them, I once cleared my positions half a day early, avoiding a 20% drop.

**First Trap: Fake Breakout Scam**

Many people see the price break through the previous high and rush in, only to be hammered down immediately. This is a common tactic used by market makers.

How to break it? A true breakout must meet two conditions:
- Volume at least doubled (refer to 3-day average volume),
- At least two consecutive 4-hour candlesticks firmly stay above the resistance level.

Last December, during ETH's volume-contraction breakout, many followed the trend and entered the market, only to see a 15% plunge that day, ending badly.

**Second Signal: Market Makers Accumulating in the Shadows**

The price appears unchanged on the surface, but they are quietly building positions. How can you tell?

Remember these two phenomena: long lower shadows with decreasing volume rebound (being hammered down then quickly pulled back), or a sudden high-volume bullish candle during sideways movement (this is a sign of initiation).

The practical method is to look for "three bottom tests" on the daily chart, where support is tested multiple times without breaking, combined with on-chain data to confirm whether big players are quietly entering.

**Third Warning: Deadly Top Reversal Signal**

The scariest thing isn't the decline itself, but the absence of any warning signs before the drop. Remember these two patterns that can save your life:
- Hanging Man: long upper shadow, close near the lowest point, indicating bulls have lost strength,
- Evening Star: a pattern of a large bullish candle + doji + large bearish candle, a classic reversal signal.

In November 2023, when BTC surged to 38,000, a double top combined with an Evening Star appeared, and within a week, it dropped to 35,000, causing all futures longs to be liquidated.

Honestly, most people don’t lack understanding; no one teaches the underlying essence. By monitoring large orders and on-chain movements, I can predict the trend 8 hours in advance.

Either your technical skills are lacking, or you’re missing the right direction. With the correct mindset, fewer detours, your account can truly grow.
