Let's talk about the core differences in market manipulation techniques between domestic and international markets.

What is the tactic in the domestic market? It’s a sudden spike—quickly pushing the price up in a flash—so fast that you don’t even have time to react, and the trend has already played out. What happens next? A long phase of dumping, pushing the price down all the way. This rhythm is very brutal, and many people get caught off guard and get liquidated during this process.

The approach in international markets is completely different. They choose to gradually push the price up, and once it reaches a certain level, they stop and enter a sideways consolidation phase. This sideways period can last several days, seemingly like distribution, but in reality, it gives participants ample time to react. This pace is more gentle and makes it easier for traders to operate.

So here’s the question—are you more likely to get caught by the domestic market’s lightning-fast pump, or will you be worn down by the prolonged sideways consolidation in the international market? Both markets have their pitfalls.

The domestic Lightning Needle is really outrageous; by the time you react, it's already been harvested, which is quite a rip-off... Overseas, the sideways movement at least allows for some breathing room, even though the mentality can also break down, but at least there's a chance to catch your breath.

According to research, this viewpoint needs to be supplemented with additional data dimensions. Domestic market's rapid price spikes are indeed quick, but from a technical perspective, such sudden surges are often accompanied by extremely thin liquidity. Can major players truly exit unscathed? It is worth noting that the sideways movement in the foreign market appears gentle, but in reality, it is gradually building deeper trapped positions, and psychological wear and tear may be more damaging. In summary, both modes are essentially doing the same thing.

The domestic market's needle-style pump-and-dump is really incredible; you get caught off guard and are immediately harvested... It's more like being hunted than trading. But during the sideways days abroad, my mentality also collapsed. Watching it stagnate is truly torturous. Can't hide in either place, and I suffer from choice paralysis. Sideways movement really tests human nature more than lightning-fast pumps. Long wait vs. instant explosion—either way, it's suffering. By the way, the speed of domestic pump-and-dump is really insane; there's no time for grinding. It's all the same, both are hunting grounds, and we're all prey.

I really dislike the domestic lightning pump; I can't react quickly enough and get stuck holding the bag. Trading sideways abroad also wears on the nerves, it's just a different way to cut the leeks.

Hmm, this analysis is interesting, but it needs an additional data point — the so-called "moderate" sideways movement in the foreign markets indeed consumes more mental energy when trading volume shrinks. From an engineering perspective, the two modes are essentially differences in liquidity management strategies rather than moral differences.

Basically, domestic markets are just the art of cutting leeks; foreign markets are slow-acting poison. They are all damn traps. Hey, wait a minute, can a few days of sideways movement really give us time to react? I feel like I might still get caught... Forget it, I've played on both sides, and I still think I'm too inexperienced. That one shot in the domestic market causes a bloodbath, while the slow grind in foreign markets makes people even more hopeless. Actually, the problem isn't the market itself; it's that we're all greedy. Instead of studying how they harvest, it's better to learn how not to get harvested.

Basically, it's just different tactics. Domestically, they hit you directly; abroad, they slowly torment your mentality. It's all about harvesting machines. The most annoying thing is sideways trading—seeing the price go up but not moving, making your hands itch like crazy. In the domestic market, that kind of spike, if you can't react in time, it's gone—truly ruthless. Veteran players have long seen through it all. No matter which side, it's a game of life and death.

ngl both are honeypots dressed differently. domestic rug with flash speed, international one just slower psychological torture—honestly can't decide which exploit vector hurts more. DYOR before touching either, not financial advice.
