I've been watching RIVER for a while and I have some thoughts to share. The big players, the manipulators, only start to really move the market when the bulls are completely desperate. The recent upward movements you see? They're basically just enticing people to buy in. The pattern is clear—push the price up, then consolidate sideways, followed by a sharp drop, specifically to harvest those high-leverage long positions. So my approach is simple: whenever the price reaches a high, consider shorting; once it drops, close the position and patiently wait for the next round.

Where is the real opportunity? When the price stabilizes above 16. After reaching that level, wait for a natural correction before considering going long again—that's more reliable. Before that, it's mostly a bearish mindset. Rather than getting caught at high levels, it's better to observe clearly from outside the market before acting. The market's turbulence is essentially just absorbing the chips of those chasing the highs and selling at lows.

To be honest, I'm tired of this dealer script. Only considering 16 and above? Feels like I have to wait a long time again.

Once again, it's the same pattern of pumping and dumping. Players really need to learn from this. I agree with the logic of only considering more when above 16, but how many can wait that long? The manipulative tactics of the whales are indeed unchanged; retail investors just love to walk into the trap. Instead of guessing, it's better to observe the market; don't daydream about manipulation to induce buying or selling. High-leverage players should wake up; this market is ruthless and leaves no bones. For those who坚持做空思路不动摇的, we'll see when real opportunities come.

The tricks of the big players are really nothing new—raising prices, then dumping to harvest profits in a cycle. Someone always falls for it... It's only the right way to make money to see through it clearly before taking action.

The tactics used by the market makers to cut leeks are indeed old tricks. I've also tried shorting at the top, but it all depends on luck, haha. Wait until the 16th stabilizes before taking action. This logic is sound; right now, it's definitely just a trap to lure more buyers. Everyone chasing the rise and selling on the dip should really reflect on their actions. Truly.

I've seen through this trick a long time ago. The manipulators only have these moves: pump to lure more in, then dump the price. It's just a different way to cut the leeks. Wait until the 16th stabilizes before speaking. Entering now is just offering your tokens. The operation method of this RIVER wave is indeed full of tricks. When it consolidates at high levels, be alert. It's better to observe clearly from outside the market before acting, rather than getting caught at high positions. People chasing the rise and selling on the dip should be crying right now. The market is just this greedy.

I've heard this set of logic too many times, always saying wait until above 16 to get more, and what’s the result? --- Dumping the market to harvest is true, but just emptying and filling like this might not be the way to bottom out. --- The reasoning is sound, but it's just too easy to persuade oneself. --- Instead of worrying about what the market makers are thinking, better to ask yourself if you can hold on. --- Hey, wait a minute, are you teaching people how to short or telling your own story of being trapped? --- Waiting until above 16 to move this threshold is a bit high; the risk is in the time cost. --- A typical hindsight trader; after reading this, I’m even more confused. --- No problem with the words, but the execution is all tears. --- This move is quite steady; unless you can make money, then...

Bro, I've seen this trick too many times, the market maker is just playing this set This time, you really need to wait until above 16 before acting, previous ones were all traps Short-selling requires patience, the thrill of chopping leeks isn't worth it Paper hands are about to be washed out again, it's time to wake up RIVER this wave is a classic trap to lure more buyers, don't fall for it
