In this market, you're essentially facing two choices: chase the smart money and buy after the institutions move in, or take the opposite side and bet against them. Either way, the game feels fundamentally broken. When market structure boils down to these binary outcomes—chasing whale movements or contrarian gambling—it raises real questions about market efficiency and whether retail participants can ever operate from a position of genuine information advantage.

Ah, forget it. Chasing or not chasing is a dead end. What should I do?

Following institutions, reverse operations, honestly, we're just choosing betting strategies in a casino
---
At this point, what is there to talk about market efficiency? Is this really the fate of retail investors?
---
Institutions are playing a two-choice game, and we're betting on which one will lose. Isn't that absurd?
---
Instead of worrying about whether to chase or not, better to ask yourself if you have the ability to see through them

This market is indeed terrible, but what can we do about it?
---
The binary trap, retail investors have to accept their fate once they come in

Chasing and chasing still results in loss, reverse betting still results in loss, no one has been able to win this game from the very beginning.
