Ever notice how the big players orchestrate the same playbook? They drop bearish takes, watch retail panic-sell their positions, then quietly start accumulating. By the time the crowd figures out what happened, the whales are already positioned for the next move.

It's the old routine, acting the same every time.

I'm already tired of this routine; it's always the same. After a wave of FUD, they start accumulating, while retail investors are still bottom-fishing, the whales have already run away.

ngl this market structure is basically a game-theoretic nightmare waiting to happen... the information asymmetry alone should trigger some serious mechanism design discussion, but tbh most people never even dig into the actual on-chain data before freaking out

This trick has been played more than once, and someone always falls for it. Whales eat the meat while we drink the soup. How to avoid getting cut depends on your own insight. It's a typical panic buy, retail investors always find out the truth last. Wait, you say they've finished building their positions? Then is it safe to buy now or will you get trapped again? That's why you need to hodl, don't be scared out by the bears.
