The most dangerous aspect in the crypto world is often not the decline itself, but the fact that the main players have already exited the stage while you're still dreaming.

For coins like $ZEC and $FIL, there are usually two hard-to-hide flaws that appear before the main players retreat. Learning to recognize these signals can help you avoid most pitfalls.

**Signal One: Volume Surge at High Levels Followed by Intense Volatility**

The main players' tactics are actually not complicated — they first attract retail investors with volume surges or high opens, then take the opportunity to offload. But the problem is that there are too many chips, making it impossible to clear them all at once, so they keep oscillating at high levels, creating a false impression of "still accumulating." For example, after a spike and pullback on the same day, a violent rebound in the afternoon after hitting the bottom on the second day can make you think "it won't fall much." Repeating this cycle several times, retail investors become complacent or even start adding positions, and the main players' distribution plan is smoothly executed.

**Signal Two: The Stronger the Top, the Greater the Risk**

This is the most confusing one. Some may wonder, if the main players want to run, why is the market still so strong? In fact, distributing coins is a technical skill — they need to keep the price stable to reassure retail investors while secretly reducing their holdings. If they act too aggressively, they risk getting caught at high levels. Therefore, at the top, the main players will repeatedly smash the price down and then lift it again, even continuously hitting new highs to stimulate chasing emotions. On the surface, it looks invincible, but technical charts often show oscillation divergence or clear divergence when making new highs after a correction — these are the clues they leave behind.

To live more comfortably in this market, relying solely on trial and error is tough. Instead of repeatedly making mistakes in the crypto space, it's better to find a stable methodology and gradually build your advantage step by step.
