I just looked at ZAMA's pre-market行情, missed the opening after picking up my kid, and later saw some friends making a killing by shorting. But I want to give everyone a warning here.



Zama's upcoming public offering will use a dark bidding auction method where participants submit their own bids and quantities—no one can see what others are offering. The project team will start from the highest bid and go down until the fundraising goal is reached, then close the bidding. All settlements are based on the final cutoff price.

This mechanism has an inherent problem. Once market sentiment heats up, people tend to fall into the logic of "I bid too low and can't get in, bid too high and I might get a better deal," creating a vicious cycle of bid-up and crowding. Do you think the project team might use pre-market price movements to stimulate public offering expectations? 😏

Currently, the pre-market open interest is only 2.5M, with very shallow depth. It reminds me of MegaETH, where pre-market trading on a certain exchange soared, and as you know, many chasing the high even chose to lock their positions for a year just to secure a share.

Personally, I wouldn't dare short below 13, as the risk is quite high. But whether to really bottom fish or chase the high depends on your judgment. Remember, in dark bidding methods, sentiment can sometimes influence the final price more than fundamentals.

The secret bidding thing is basically psychological warfare. With a depth of only 2.5M, there's hardly any liquidity to speak of, just waiting to be smashed by emotions.

I've seen through this trick of the dark auction; it's all about emotional manipulation. Nobody should try to gain an advantage.

This hidden bidding gameplay is truly a gambling arena; no one knows others' bottom lines, and it ultimately becomes a psychological battle. The lesson from MegaETH is still fresh in my mind. The guy who chased the high and held his position for a year sounds just ridiculous.

Blind bidding is too easy to hit a snag with this gameplay. Haven't you had enough of the MegaETH lesson? Emotional trading kills silently. I'm still waiting for the public offering to pass before I look again. The 13 yuan level is indeed a bit risky; only the chosen ones can hold it. To the friends who are about to be cut again this time, remember one thing: a high quote doesn't mean you can hold on to the bottom. The pre-market depth of 2.5M is easily dispersed by a gust of wind. Don't be scared by the surge.

Oh, this dark pool mechanism is just a psychological game, each one reporting more aggressively than the last. I was also involved in that MegaETH wave, really took a big loss. Now looking at ZAMA, I still need to stay calm. The logic of making quick money should have been abandoned long ago. This round is all about who can resist being emotionally hijacked. The price of 13 yuan is indeed awkward, feeling stuck and unable to move up or down. The project team definitely knows how to play this game. They pump up expectations before the market opens, classic套路.
