Fast rise, slow fall? Wake up, that's the market manipulators accumulating positions and trapping people. The opposite is also true—after a sharp drop, the subsequent rebounds are weak, don’t think about bottom fishing, they’ve already offloaded at high prices, and the rebound is just a false signal.

Many panic-sell when they see a sudden increase in volume at the top, but this doesn’t necessarily mean a top. Sometimes, the market makers just want to push the last wave up to scare you out. What’s truly dangerous? When the price reaches a high and the volume disappears. At this point, if you don’t sell, you become the last fool to buy in.

Don’t rush to buy when the volume at the bottom increases either; trap tactics are unpredictable. What’s the real signal? Several days of increasing volume while the price remains stable without falling—that’s the time to enter.

In the crypto world, it’s all about emotional games. How the market moves depends on sentiment, and sentiment depends on trading volume. Interestingly, the moment you feel like jumping in impulsively, the market manipulators are probably preparing to run away; conversely, when you’re scared and want to escape, they’ve already built their positions.

That’s how this circle works—cutting leeks and reaping profits, always the same few types of people. It’s not a lack of ability that causes liquidation, but inability to control oneself. Those dreaming of sudden wealth and a turnaround are ultimately all taught a lesson by the market.
