River reaching a new high is almost a certainty. For traders holding long positions, there are now two options: either take profits around 27 or set stop-loss orders below 25. Frankly, this trading strategy is quite sophisticated—before pushing prices up, they often pull back to sweep stop-loss and liquidation orders. The current market looks stagnant, seemingly calm, but in reality, it's just a trap to lure in short sellers.

This situation is indeed uncomfortable. Some ask, how can we make money in this market? My idea is: place long orders around 27 to catch the rebound; as long as you get in, it's basically a guaranteed profit. Another approach is to be patient—wait until River breaks through 50 or even hits 60 before considering opening short positions. But here’s a crucial reminder—never blindly short, as that’s where losses begin.

Here's a detail that explains the situation: the funding rate is settled every 4 hours and is negative, which precisely reflects the master traders' skillful manipulation. Their control over market rhythm and understanding of traders' psychology are truly impressive.

This short squeeze strategy is really perfect. Negative fees at the bottom, the main force is clearly shaking out the weak hands.

The main force's trading strategy this time is truly excellent, with the rhythm of sweeping orders tightly controlled. Take profit orders still need some room; don't get washed out too badly. The 27 price level really needs careful consideration, but I still think it's more stable to wait until it breaks 50 before shorting. The negative funding rate detail is brilliant, always cutting the leeks this way. Consolidation is just absorbing the chips; too many people want to catch the bottom here. To be honest, in this market, you just have to endure; acting early will only get you trapped.

Here comes the classic bear trap again, the main players are just playing this trick --- Buying at 27 for guaranteed profit? No way, I think it still needs to drop further --- The fee rate is even negative, clearly this wave is for accumulating positions --- Wait, wait, wait, in the end, we still have to wait until it breaks 50 before making a move --- That's right, but if you enter now, you're just giving money to the main players --- Knowing this tactic doesn't help; if you're going to lose, you're going to lose --- I just want to ask, who has really bought at 27 and held on --- Bear trap, bear trap, it's always like this, it’s making me numb --- Stop loss at 25? Forget it, there's no bottom below
