$RIVER surging to $100 is almost a certainty. By dissecting the logic behind this wave of market movement, you'll find a perfect combination of capital, timing, and narrative.
First, there's the enthusiasm in Korea. After listing on a major Asian exchange, the kimchi premium and the frenzy of retail investors in Korean won directly ignited the first wave of the rally. This heat isn't fake; genuine funds are pouring in.
What's even more interesting is the tactics of the main players. The 56% short position in the market was amplified and exploited, with a violent push-up forcing shorts out of the market. Those who were bearish were forced to close their positions at high prices and switch to long positions, turning stop-loss orders into the best catalysts for the rally.
Timing was also spot on. On January 22, a large amount of tokens was unlocked. The main players aggressively pushed the price before this date, creating a perfect window for a high-level dump. When the unlock happened, millions of dollars worth of chips had enough liquidity to absorb the sell-off.
Moreover, from a fundamental perspective, $RIVER's chain abstraction technology and the cross-chain stablecoin satUSD are already hot topics. This gave the entire hype a legitimate veneer, making the market movement seem reasonable and well-founded. With both technical and capital-driven catalysts, it's no wonder this rally has taken such an extraordinary form.

Wow, I really got impressed by the main force's move. The 56% short squeeze was so intense that it was a textbook-level short squeeze.

56% of shorts were squeezed out. This technique is really brilliant. Retail investors who end up holding the bag are indeed a bit unfortunate.

Wait a minute, isn't this the standard dealer script? Heavy buying before unlocking, short sellers get squeezed out, then a dump on the unlocking day. I bet five dollars that there will be a big plunge next week.

Short stop-loss orders really become the best boosters haha, that's why I don't dare to short casually.

Damn, the main force's move is really ruthless. The short sellers' stop-loss orders have directly become their cash machines, and the fate of Korean retail investors has already been sealed.

Wait, I've heard the logic that 56% of the shorts are squeezed out too many times. Every time they say it's a sure thing, but what happens then?

It looks like the same old main force manipulation script again. The question is, how many people can be fooled this time?
