Many meme coins follow this common pattern—news of a major positive development spreads in the market, retail investors hear the news and start to move, and the price also begins to rise. But strangely, after going up, it starts to oscillate within a certain range, moving sideways and dragging on. At this point, you need to think about what the main players are doing. Generally speaking, they are either distributing chips or waiting for a better opportunity to continue the rally. Conversely, when a meme coin has been consolidating at the bottom for a long time and suddenly starts to release various follow-up positive news, do you think there might be the shadow of the main players behind it? Long-term consolidation at a low level could itself be a sign that the main players are quietly accumulating, and the positive news often serves to hype up the subsequent market. These two phenomena actually reveal the same logic—the actions of the main players often precede market hotspots. To distinguish real opportunities, it still depends on understanding the details of the market and the market rhythm.

It's the same old story. Retail investors are still chasing the hot trends, while the big players have already laid their traps.

They are all tactics of the main players; retail investors are just the bagholders. --- A sudden bullish signal after such a long sideways movement? Wake up, brother. --- Basically, it's about accumulating shares and then distributing them. We’re just guessing the game. --- Watching the market charts is much more reliable than reading the news. Don’t believe it? Try it. --- It’s always like this—bottoming out and then releasing big news, really disgusting. --- Main players' psychology—once you see through it, it’s not so easy to get cut. --- The problem is, how can ordinary people tell the difference? Still following the trend and getting trapped. --- What’s difficult about analyzing the chart details? Just look at the candlesticks. --- I’ve seen this tactic many times, yet some still fall for it. --- Those who truly make money are quietly accumulating at the low points, never calling out trades.

It's the same old trick again, retail investors getting chopped up the same way. --- Range-bound trading is a signal of distribution; you've fallen for it again. --- The big players have already run, and you're still taking the bait. Wake up. --- Accumulating at low levels and distributing at high levels—always the classic script. --- Good news usually comes too late; you lack that insight. --- Understanding the details of the market can make you money; if you can't see through it, you'll be the chives. It's that simple. --- Every time people say they understand the market rhythm, but it's really just luck. --- The movements of the big players are always one step ahead of the news—that's an iron law.

They’re back to trick retail investors into buying in, same old tricks. The main force accumulates and distributes, basically a routine operation before the big players run away. Is sideways movement just accumulation? I think 80% is just dumping. Good news appears, and it immediately surges, then nothing more... Details of the market? Ha, I only look at the candlestick charts to see if I can double my money. These meme coins thrive on information asymmetry; they’re not that mysterious. Rather than studying the main force’s moves, it’s faster to just take a gamble. Honestly, it still depends on who holds more chips; otherwise, even if you understand, it’s useless.

It's the same old trick of cutting leeks again, retail investors can never get the rhythm right. I'm already tired of the main force's accumulation and distribution routine; the key is how not to get cut. Consolidation is just a shakeout; by the time I get in, they've often already started dumping. Honestly, it's still about information asymmetry; we're always one step behind. When good news appears = the main force has already completed their stealth operation and started to harvest. The details on the market chart sound nice, but in reality, it's just gambling on probabilities. Who can truly catch the bottom? It all depends on luck and mindset. That's why I only dare to trade small amounts, not wanting to become the target of the main force. The rhythm of the big players is always faster than ours; face reality and don't chase blindly.

The method of selling the book is indeed old-fashioned; retail investors are always the last to catch the bag. Consolidation means the main force is eating up chips. I've seen this many times. Be cautious when good news is announced; nine times out of ten, it's a trap set for you. If you stay at the bottom for a long time, you can't escape; the main force has been waiting there all along. Basically, it's still an information gap; we are always one step behind. Details of the market chart really require time to analyze, otherwise you'll be cut off for nothing. The rhythm of the main force is always ahead of the market; that's why retail investors are always harvested. What seems to be good news is actually a bait; it's an old trick.
