Many people focus on those so-called main force monitoring indicators, but in reality, they are not the true main force. They are just some funds that feel very important to themselves.

Look at large institutions like MicroStrategy; the number of times they actually become the market main force is actually quite rare. In fact, many times, what truly drives the market is not the size of the funds.

What is the essence of the main force? It's not how much money they hold, but whether they can influence the current price trend. This is the core definition of the main force. To exaggerate, even with only 10u of funds, at a specific moment and specific position, they can become the main driving force behind the price. The key is not the amount, but the position and timing.

BTC's movements often follow this pattern. Sometimes, seemingly insignificant funds are actually the key to changing the situation.

Enlightenment, I used to be completely fooled by these big account indicators. Basically, it's about timing and position; the amount of funds is not really the issue. A 10u buy-in at the right moment can still stir up a storm, and that's the key to understanding the main force.

Come on, the key is still to understand market sentiment --- Micro strategies' big players may look impressive, but the real game-changers are often the sudden emergence of black swans --- Positioning and timing are much more important than size, there's no doubt about that --- In simple terms, you need to hit the right rhythm; the amount of funds is actually superficial --- I agree, I used to focus on big fund flows too, but later I realized that stuff is really useless --- That's the real truth. Many people are still studying whale wallets, but they've already gone off track --- Exactly, the most ruthless are never the ones who throw the most money --- Compared to tracking big players, it's more practical to learn how to pick the right entry points yourself --- Can 10U change the situation? That would require perfect technical alignment, which is unlikely --- Damn, that just shattered many people's illusions --- It feels like this explains why retail investors sometimes manage to buy the dip successfully

Well said. I like this kind of perspective that breaks cognitive biases. Indeed, many people have been brainwashed by these monitoring indicators. Positioning and timing are truly skills; 10u at a critical point can be more powerful than a 1 million shotguns. I've always thought micro-strategy was a bit mystical. Claiming to be the main force, but ending up caught along with the masses. This logic is actually game theory—whoever understands the rhythm is the main force, regardless of whether they have a lot or a little money. Anyway, I believe it. Just look at BTC trends, and you'll see that the power of precise positioning with small funds is really outrageous.

Position and timing are the real game-changers; the idea that large capital can dominate the market should have gone bankrupt long ago.

Damn, this is the real truth. I've been fooled by those big traders monitoring data all along. --- Position and timing are more important than the amount of funds. Why didn't I think of that? --- 10u changes the situation? No way, but BTC has indeed played like that before. --- Exactly, MicroStrategy also often misses the boat. The main force concept should have gone bankrupt long ago. --- Enlightenment! I've been looking at the wrong indicators all this time. --- So basically, it's a game of timing; numbers are just a distraction. --- Have we been tracking fake main forces all along? I'm a bit shaken. --- Position and timing >> funds, simple and brutal but decisive. --- This logic makes sense. No wonder small funds can sometimes dump the market. --- The essence of the market is that it can influence prices. This really hit me.

Woke up, mainly focusing on positioning and timing. The whole thing about capital amount should have been discarded long ago.

Haha, you're right. What's the use of a large amount of funds? It's better to have a retail trader who knows how to read the market position. --- So many funds in MicroStrategy, but they still get played by small investors. Laugh out loud. --- The main players are those who know how to position themselves. No matter how big the volume, if they don't understand the timing, it's useless. --- Dropping 10U at the right moment is more effective than a million dollars moving randomly. I believe that. --- No wonder you can't make money just by watching the movements of big whales every day. That's not how it really works. --- Position > Funds. That's the real key to cracking the main players. --- What’s the difference between retail investors and big institutions? The key is always timing and entry point. --- Most of those strange surges in BTC are caused by a few small funds at critical positions, which then trigger the big whales. --- So monitoring whales is really a waste of time. It’s better to learn how to read the charts.
