Has anyone noticed this pattern—whenever a major exchange's spot market experiences a surge, the overall market tends to pull back. This phenomenon is quite interesting and almost always holds true. It seems that large-volume trades on the spot side have a certain inverse correlation with the overall market trend, and traders should pay more attention to such details.

Spot market rally causes the main index to pull back. I've seen this trick a few times; it feels like the exchange is playing psychological warfare. Wait, this can't be a trap to shake out the weak before a dump, right? With the current volume in the spot market, can it really reverse and drive the main index? I'm a bit skeptical. These details definitely need to be watched closely, but don't be fooled by coincidences. Always right? Then why am I still losing money, haha. It has the smell of insider information; such strong reverse momentum from the spot side.

spot pumps = market dumps? nah man, that's just poor governance of order flow. exchanges literally can't manage their own liquidity without creating systemic instability—classic protocol economics failure dressed up as "market anomaly"

Spot market rally causes major correction? Bro, are you talking about hedging arbitrage? The top players have already figured this out. Large investors first accumulate spot holdings, then retail investors follow and sell off, making it a guaranteed profit trade. Inverse correlation? Brother, this is called a sickle harvest. I think you're a bit late to the game; someone has already been profiting from this price difference for a while.

Damn, this is the strategy that the whales use to manipulate and harvest retail investors, brother. They pump the spot market to attract buy orders and then dump in the futures market. Old tricks. Always right? Then why haven't you made any money, haha? Honestly, good risk management is the real key. No matter how perfect the technicals are, you still need to control your hands. This rebound does have some substance, but don't chase the highs. Wait until the support level breaks before acting. Right now, those jumping in are just bagholders. Wait and see the 1-hour structure before making a move.
