At the end of the day, the rules of the market game are still dictated by capital. As long as large funds do not enter the market to stir up trouble, the big players will continue to support the market—during this period, retail investors keep rushing in to short, and even if they bear transaction costs, the big players' profits are still substantial.

Without external capital shocks, it is difficult to shake this control pattern. But you'll find that the big players are never idle; they must constantly maintain enthusiasm, increase trading volume, and create the illusion of market activity. This is necessary— as long as this system is running, profit opportunities will always exist.

The key watershed is here: when the big players no longer exert effort to support the market, and enthusiasm begins to rapidly decline, and trading volume stagnates, that’s the signal. At this point, it is the window for the big players to dump and start unloading. Simply put, there is no eternal control; eventually, the big players will cash out and secure their profits.
