# Last night, another dinner gathering continued.
Four of us. Director Song brought a junior colleague who just joined the system.
After a few rounds of drinks, the junior asked Director Song how to climb up quickly within the organization.
Director Song glanced at me and smiled without saying anything.
I poured myself a glass of dry white wine and told her about a wilderness crossing expedition we did before.
There was an English teacher who joined us into the uninhabited region.
At first, everyone was on their own, the environment was extremely harsh—oxygen deprivation, constant jolting, sand and wind everywhere.
By the third day, most people were on the verge of physical and emotional collapse. People started complaining about each other, and some were so desperate they wanted to smash the vehicles.
But this female teacher wasn't.
She was extremely composed. She knew that in a place like this, breaking down wouldn't solve anything. Only by relying on absolute power could you live comfortably.
She took the initiative to get into the lead guy's large SUV.
This wasn't anything romantic or sentimental. This was the most primitive exchange of chips.
The lead guy provided scarce survival resources and protection.
She provided emotional value and other things.
After leaving the wilderness, everyone else shed a layer of skin, while her account was filled with casual photos of single-person, single-vehicle conquest of the desert.
Later, using the so-called "expedition credentials" and social connections accumulated from this experience, she was transferred from grassroots all the way up to the city level.
The fundamental law of the adult world is just like this.
All upward climbing, all wealth transfer, are cruel transactions with prices secretly marked in advance.
Whoever can control themselves when others are emotionally collapsing and shouting is the one who can grab bloody, cheap chips.
Staring at the
$ETH 2140 numbers jumping up and down on the screen, that familiar feeling of oxygen deprivation comes again.
A few days ago, the market was hammered down into a deep pit.
At that 2021 level, suddenly an enormous wave of capital flooded in, directly launching the price upward to 2199.
That was a major institution biting off a large piece of meat from the bloody pool at the bottom.
The base position is built. What happens next?
Direct pump to let you ride the wave? Don't even think about it.
What they're doing now is driving the vehicle into the wilderness, turning off the air conditioning, and starting to tire you out.
Look at the current trend—every K-line is bleeding downward.
But this bleeding is very strange.
Listen carefully: the sound of buying and selling gets quieter and quieter. There's no big money dumping at all.
It's just those retail investors on the vehicle who can't handle the jolting, trampling each other in fear, throwing the last remaining provisions out the window.
A dull blade cuts the deepest, most effective at breaching people's psychological defenses.
The major institutions don't need to spend a single penny. With just time, they can wear you down to desperation.
The zone between 2110 to 2130 below is the last camp that these institutions must defend at all costs.
Don't surrender your life during the most severe oxygen deprivation.
Tie your hands up.
Wait for the price to fall into this hunting zone. Once you see signs of large capital reigniting.
Follow the lead guy's vehicle with your eyes closed.
Tactical direction: Long $ETH (already gave 2130 current price long above, those who missed it wait for pullback to get in)
Hunter zone: 2115 - 2130
Survival line: 2075 (if it breaks below here, it means the lead vehicle has flipped—cut losses to survive, never hold positions)
Profit-taking zone: 2180 reduce position / 2220-2260 exit completely
Heaven never punishes the wicked. Heaven only punishes the weak.
