#BTC资金流动性 has been in the circle for 8 years, witnessing countless retail investors repeatedly making the same fatal mistake - foolishly unable to distinguish whether the market maker is "Whipsawing" or "dumping", ultimately getting played for suckers.

$ZKP Last week, a guy reached out to me in a panic: "The coin dropped by 30%, is now the time to average down?" I looked at his candlestick chart, and at that moment, my heart sank. He got caught again.

I’ll say it straight: "Don't buy in, once you do, it's a deep pit. Wake up!"

Many people have encountered this situation: a certain coin rises from 2U to 5U, and then starts to decline. Retail investors look at it and shout, "Whipsaw! The opportunity is here!" As a result, they keep trying to buy the dip, buying more as it goes down, and ultimately end up losing even more.

$BEAT In fact, that is not a Whipsaw; that is clearly a dump. What does it look like? A large amount is released at a high position, the price can't be pushed up, and then there’s a straight drop—from 5U it crashed down to 3U in just a few days. Once it’s done crashing, it’s not over yet; there’s another rebound to lure in more buyers, pulling in all the last people who catch the falling knife. This is called "crashing the market"; it is definitely not a Whipsaw!

This is what a real Whipsaw looks like: when the price drops, the trading volume actually contracts, and only when it rebounds does the trading volume expand, with the key support level being firmly held and not broken. This is how the market maker cleans up floating chips.

The dumping has reversed: huge volume during the decline, but the trading volume shrinks during the rebound. Once the support level is breached, it’s gone; looking back, it’s all an illusion.

Remember these three tips to see through:

Declining with low volume, rising with high volume - Whipsaw signal!

Volume increase during a decline, volume decrease during a rebound - dump signal!

The characteristics of Whipsaw are a slow downward grind followed by a rapid rise. As for dumping, it directly crashes with weak rebounds.

This industry is so cruel; either you get played people for suckers, or you learn to discern and find the rhythm of the market maker to keep up. I used to fumble in the dark, paying countless tuition fees, only to finally see through these tricks. Looking back now, those pits are like shining textbooks. Do you want to follow this lamp and walk out of the confusion?
