#美国核心物价涨幅不及市场预估【The Truth Behind ETH Trends: Whales "Wash Out" Not Bearishness】

Many retail investors can only watch price fluctuations, but those who actually manipulate the market are monitoring leverage data.

When you find that ETH's leveraged positions suddenly accumulate above the price on the exchange, don't rush to think that a bearish trend is coming. On the contrary—this often indicates that the big players are clearing out long positions at high levels.

The manipulation tactics of the whales are actually just these three moves:

**Step 1**: Rapidly sell off in a short period, smashing those high-leverage longs
**Step 2**: Create a "scary" lower shadow (wick)
**Step 3**: After people's confidence is shaken, quickly push the price up again

This method has been tested multiple times in 2025. Looking at the trends of $BTC, $ETH, $SOL and other mainstream coins, you can see that sometimes the sharpest drops happen right before a reversal. The key is not to be hit by short-term panic but to learn how to read the whales' intentions behind the exchange data.

ETH-0,27%

BTC-0,85%

SOL0,98%

Another round of shakeout, retail investors should wake up. Leverage data is the real signal.

Here we go again. Basically, it's betting that the market maker will pull, while retail investors are still studying candlestick charts. Some people really believe in this theory. I think it's just armchair strategizing after the fact. Leverage data can sometimes be more accurate when viewed from the opposite perspective. Every time they say it's a shakeout, but it hasn't shaken out anything yet. It's hilarious. If you could really read the market maker's intentions, you'd be rich by now. Stop bragging.

Another analysis of "I Understand the Market Sentiment," sounds pretty good, but the problem is—how do retail investors know whether this time is a shakeout or a real decline? It sounds like armchair strategizing after the fact; every time there's a dip, a story can be spun.

Here comes the same old wash trading theory. Every time it dips, it's said to be the market maker shaking out positions; when it rises, what then? Sounds good, but isn't it just armchair analysis after the fact? If you could truly understand the market maker's intentions, you'd be financially free already. Leverage data is something retail investors simply can't monitor in real-time. How can they compare themselves to the market makers? After so many rounds of validation, why are my positions still at rock bottom? I'm not arguing, I just feel like these analyses are all just excuses to justify losses.

It's the same old story... I just want to ask, are you sure about reading the leverage data this way? We've verified it several times in 2025, so why are some people still getting liquidated?
