#数字资产市场动态 The crypto market has an interesting phenomenon—the price dance under the time difference between the East and West.



$BTC $ETH The trends of these two mainstream coins often reveal some patterns:

When the domestic market experiences a fierce decline during the day, many try to buy the dip. As a result, around 21:30 in the evening, when overseas major players push up, the daytime lows become problematic. Conversely, when prices surge sharply during the day, don’t chase; at night, they will likely fall back to the original level.

Hitting the stop-loss is like the language of the market makers—the deeper the stop is set, the clearer the subsequent buy and sell signals. Before major positive news, they often push the price up first; when it hits the ground, it’s usually hammered down. This routine has been tested repeatedly and works every time.

In community discussions about trading plans, it’s easiest to fall into traps. When group members hype up a coin, those who buy in usually get caught. But here’s a counterintuitive logic: the coin that’s most hyped often has a better chance of being shorted profitably. Similarly, projects that group members overlook often turn into dark horses—key is whether you dare to hold a small position to verify.

When holding a large position, the liquidation rate is strangely high. Why? Because your name is likely on the exchange’s liquidation monitoring list. After stop-loss, the price drops; it first needs to trick traders out or wipe out the longs before it dares to fall (TRB has experienced this). When the position is about to be freed, the rebound suddenly stalls—how else to keep you trapped and continue the rally? When taking profit, it actually pushes up; if you don’t sell now, how can it keep rising by making the position heavier?

When you’re excited, a sharp drop will come because that emotional state itself is a trap set by the market makers. When you have nothing, all projects are rising, FOMO is intense, and entering the market means going all in.

Probabilistically, over 80% of the market is manipulated. So, the key for surviving traders boils down to two points: controlling position size and acting later. Before understanding what the market makers are doing, never enter the market. Once you do, you become prey for the other side.

Trading ultimately depends on patience, resolve, and timing—let’s encourage each other.

The words are quite clear, but few people can truly do it; most are still being cut like leeks. --- That wave at 21:30, I've seen it too many times, the daytime bottom-fishing dream shattered in a second. --- The logic of shorting inversely has indeed made money before, but it requires strong psychological resilience and can't withstand floating losses. --- Honestly, I avoid the coins that are hyped the most in the group; I've long learned to think in reverse. --- Controlling position size is the most painful thing to hear because no one can really do it; greed is human nature. --- 80% manipulation? I believe it, but I know there's a gap between knowing and doing—it's a matter of a margin call.

I'm too familiar with this trick; I only realized after being exploited several times.

Damn, isn't this talking about me... I always miss the wave at 21:30... Really, I feel like I'm always working for the market makers, the coins in my hands either get stuck or get stopped out and drop... Whatever is said in the group, I just buy it, really a rookie move, it's hilarious... Actually, it's just that I can't control my position size. When I see a rise, I want to go all in... There's nothing wrong with that, but next time I will still go all in haha... Wait, is this hinting that I should do the opposite, or just continue to lie flat...

Starting to talk about the dealer's psychology again, but it seems that those who really make money never boast about these in the group. The statement "decisively not entering the market" is so true, but the question is, who the hell can hold back? That wave of TRB was indeed amazing; by the time you react, it's already been drained.

Hey, I know this routine too well, I always fall for it. --- Exactly, it's a psychological game, seeing who breaks first. --- Those people in the group really, I lost all my money on coins they hyped up, doing the opposite actually makes money, it's ridiculous. --- That moment of positioning was truly brilliant, knowing you're about to be squeezed out, but it just won't let you feel comfortable. --- Patience is easy to say, but when your account is dropping, who can sit still? --- I believe that 80% of the data being manipulated is true, otherwise why would it rebound immediately after I stop-loss? --- Now I've learned to think in reverse, the more they hype in the group, the more cautious I become. --- The key is to control your desire; once you enter the market, rationality is lost. --- There is indeed a pattern in time zone arbitrage, it all depends on whether you can stick to it without chasing.
