Look at $PIPPIN, this wave of market movement is interesting. There's an angle worth pondering—after that big short position was set up with a liquidation price at 0.61, the price stubbornly rose to 0.76. Logically, it should have triggered a liquidation early on. But in reality, those short positions around the liquidation price instead collectively exited. It seems like a carefully planned setup by the bulls. From observation, this big short might actually be a bait—used to attract trend-following shorts to enter, then reverse at a critical point. The real goal might be to gradually drain liquidity and ultimately exhaust the entire coin. However, from the current market situation, the bulls are still in the accumulation phase, and the big show might still be ahead. The characteristic of this kind of setup is: it appears to be a trap set by the bears, but in fact, the bulls are the true hunters.

The short position move is really skillful, from 0.61 setting a trap to a reversal at 0.76, trapping all the followers. To put it simply, it's a bull trap, and we retail investors have become the fish bait. Wait, can this wave really drain liquidity and exhaust the coin? Feels like they're talking about the same old tricks again, claiming the big show is yet to come. With this PIPPIN rhythm, the bulls are indeed accumulating. I think the key is whether they can break through the 0.76 resistance level; if they can't, it's just the bulls deceiving the chips. Meticulous planning? Sounds good, but honestly, it's just mutual scheming. The bears set traps, the bulls step into them, and now they say the bulls are the hunters. I think we're all just prey. Waiting for a reversal, but I've seen this kind of situation many times; in the end, it's still us who end up unlucky. Looking at this rhythm, the bulls are gathering strength nicely, just worried about any surprises during the night.

Damn, this game is played so fiercely, the bulls are really fishing The bulls are the true market makers, the bears are just being chopped up like leeks From 0.61 to 0.76, this rally is just a shakeout, repeatedly harvesting The bait is deep enough, but unfortunately those following the trend are all numb The real big show is indeed still to come, waiting to see how they squeeze Wait, isn't this logic too perfect? Could there be another layer to this game? This is the crypto world, even those who seem to understand are the ones getting cut the hardest

0.61 to 0.76 this wave of rally is quite extraordinary, it seems someone is indeed playing chess --- Something's off, why did all the short positions suddenly exit? Isn't this bullish traders baiting? --- The bait game is quite deep, I'm just worried about getting trapped myself, that would be the funniest --- We still need to wait during the accumulation phase, don't be fooled by the surface market trend --- I've seen this kind of game before, the ones who end up making money are often the most calm --- Is liquidity really so easy to drain? That sounds a bit alarmist --- Bull hunter, huh? And what about the bear's counterattack? Are they just going to admit defeat? --- The key is where it can be pulled to next; 0.76 is just the beginning, right?

nah the liquidation cascade mechanics here are honestly textbook—that 0.61 level was never a real support, it's just an inefficiency vector waiting for MEV extraction. the shorts got honeypotted into the exact state transition they thought they were engineering lmao. classic asymmetric returns setup tbh

nah this reeks of classic bait-and-switch... shorts getting liquidated while the real accumulation happens quietly. paper hands always fall for the obvious trap first.

Wow, this round of PIPPIN's manipulation is really awesome. The bears are trapped and confused, haha. The bulls are pretending to be naive, and the bears are really getting beaten up. It has that feel. Waiting to see how it ends later, it feels like it's not over yet. Rising from 0.61 to 0.76 so sharply, the short sellers should have been dead long ago, but instead they all ran away? Something's fishy. This is the reversal of hunter vs prey; the bulls are the real players.
