#数字资产市场动态【Is Ethereum in Volatility? Don't Be Fooled by Surface Signs】【This is a routine that seasoned traders understand well】

Many people get anxious over a few percentage points up or down on the candlestick chart, not realizing that the real players in the market are not looking at the price itself—it's the leveraged positions on exchanges.

You'll notice a pattern—
When Ethereum's leverage suddenly spikes above the price, most retail traders interpret it as a bearish signal, but in fact, this is precisely the main force doing a "clearing out."

This operation process is almost foolproof👇

Step 1: Instantly dump the market, smashing all high-leverage long positions
Step 2: Leave a frightening long lower shadow, causing panic
Step 3: After retail traders are shaken out, reverse the move and push the price up, leaving latecomers regretful

By 2025, similar tactics have been repeatedly played out on mainstream coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Those in the know have long figured out this rhythm.$BTC $ETH $SOL

ETH-0.36%

BTC-0.84%

SOL1.53%

Laughing to death, it's the same old clearing the market routine. Last time, I was scared by this long lower shadow and sold at the bottom. Experienced traders understand the rhythm well. What I’ve figured out is how to lose money. The main force is pushing up while I’m chasing the high, a perfect match. Stop talking, I’ve already become a loyal fan of this operation. I’m very good at reading candlestick charts, but I always buy the dip halfway up the mountain. Every time I say this time is different, but in the end, I still get cleaned out. So I’m just here to work for the main force, huh? I know this rhythm by heart, just a bit lacking in execution.

Washed again? This rhythm is really incredible, I've already watched it five or six times. To be honest, the leverage part is really fierce, pulling back feels pretty satisfying. The clearing scene is back again, why does someone always fall for it every time? This routine has been played out, but the greedy ones will probably get crushed. I just want to ask, when will the main players finally settle down. Looking at charts is useless, the key is to see what smart money is doing. It's either smashing the market or pushing it up, retail investors are always left behind, regretting it every day.

Clearance tactics are old news; retail investors are just here to give away money. Selling off and creating long lower shadows again—are they going to cut us again this time? Leverage liquidations happen all the time; it's better to wait for a rebound before jumping in. The main players' three usual tricks for clearing the market—seeing through them is useless anyway. Talking about patterns every day, why am I still losing money?

The routine of clearing the market is indeed a set of tricks, but how many can truly benefit from the rebound? --- It's the same old trick of smashing the market to shake out weak hands; retail investors are always the ones being harvested. --- Leverage blowouts are very clear to see, but there's no courage to buy the dip, and the mentality collapses. --- It's easy to understand the rhythm, but when it comes to actually taking action, you still get scared—that's the gap. --- The main force's move to clear the market, the ones who benefit are never retail investors like us. --- It's correct to say, but it’s of little use; after all, the information gap is right there. --- Even if you understand the pattern, you still need to survive until the rebound moment; getting washed out halfway is all for nothing.
