$RIVER has recently sparked quite a bit of discussion on trading platforms, but many analysts are focusing on technical analysis, which seems a bit out of place for a volatile asset. The market faces two paths: one is a slow decline after peaking, with the unlocking wave on the 22nd directly breaking through the $10 mark; the other is a rally to trap long positions, blow up the shorts, and then launch a violent sell-off.

From the perspective of main force manipulation, with so many retail traders chasing the trend, the probability of a short squeeze is not high. Instead of spending effort pushing the price up, it’s easier to press it down with the trend. The key now is whether the upcoming week’s movement can give a signal—whether the price can break above a critical level or continue to be pressured. This waiting period will determine the fate of many people.

We'll find out this week. Basically, it's about which party the main force wants to harvest.

Number 22 broke through directly on the first attempt, I bet on this.

Breaking through on the 22nd directly? I think it's suspicious; retail investors aren't that easy to manipulate. Whether it can hold through the 22nd is uncertain; it feels like the main players have already wanted to strike. If it can't stand this week, then it's really time to run; why wait around to get beaten? Here we go again, first pump then dump? Wake up, buddy, the main players don't even bother. Ten bucks? I laughed, feels even lower. Key levels? Which key level? Every level looks like a trap. Retail investors chasing the hype need to change; otherwise, they'll all end up as bagholders. Waiting for signals is too hard; a week is too long, and the mentality is already collapsing. If the main players really want to push down, there's no need to talk nonsense, just do it. The unlocking trend is really a trap; those who should run early should run now.

It looks like another game where the main players are harvesting retail investors. Who believes, who loses out. --- The wave of unlocks on the 22nd is expected to be quite intense. Be prepared to cut losses, everyone. --- Instead of listening to these analyses, it's better to look at the candlestick charts. Right now, it's just a gamble. --- The main players are well aware, while retail investors are still drawing lines. It's hilarious. --- If you ask me, let's see if we can hold that key point this week. If not, just surrender directly. --- There are so many retail investors chasing the trend. The main players will just throw as many chips as they have, simple and brutal. --- Anyway, I've already sold out. Just watching the show now. --- If this wave really crashes hard, those caught in the trap will probably cry. --- Technical analysis is nonsense. With such big fluctuations, still looking at moving averages? That's just crazy.
