#密码资产动态追踪 Just finished handling some personal matters and habitually glanced at the candlestick chart and liquidation board. A quick look showed everything in the green—$1000RATS, $ETH, these two are dropping especially painfully.

From 3300 directly down to 3080, the most common question I received was: "Is there still hope for the long position entered at 3280?" Honestly, rather than obsessing over whether to save or not, it's better to admit that the initial direction was wrong from the start.

This wave of decline is very pure; there’s no decent rebound or gentle correction, indicating that big players have no intention of giving people an escape route. A couple of days ago, they hovered around 3300, looking like they couldn’t fall further, but in reality, they were wearing down patience and creating a false illusion of support. Once the long positions accumulate to a certain point, they will break the bottom directly, and the price will start to drop sharply.

The current signals are very clear: the trend is weakening, the MACD has just formed a death cross, and selling pressure is significantly greater than buying pressure. This indicates that funds are orderly withdrawing, not just panic selling.

Can you bottom fish? My advice is straightforward—hold steady, don’t move. In a falling market, catching the bottom is mostly luck; if you miss it, you’re in deep. Also, don’t think about shorting to turn around; sudden rebounds can happen at any time. These rebounds are meant for shorts and those reducing their positions, and those who can’t catch them will only keep falling.

Markets always move in phases. Right now, staying alive is more valuable than trying to guess the correct direction.

The people who bought at 3280 must be feeling really uncomfortable now... I just want to ask, who dares to buy the dip when this rebound comes? --- Again, I see the argument that "big players have no plan to give an escape route"... So we are all just destined to be harvested? --- Hold still and don't move. It sounds easy, but try doing it when your account shrinks by 30%. --- No shorting + no buying the dip, so what should we do when the market moves? Just watch? --- Living is indeed valuable, but honestly, I’m really feeling a bit exhausted right now. --- Grinding back and forth around 3300 is just wearing down patience. This analysis is spot on... If I had seen it earlier, it wouldn’t be like this now. --- The rebound is a window reserved for the bears. So, when retail investors see the rebound, should they just run? --- Honestly, I really don’t understand this kind of market. It feels like everything I do is wrong. --- Who still remembers those who said last week that ETH would break through 3500? Now they’re probably all silent. --- Held on, but it’s really tough. Every day I ask myself whether I should cut losses or keep holding.

The group of people who bought in at 3280 should now be reflecting on their lives Once again, they were completely deceived by the fake support from big players, not learning their lesson I just watch silently, I really don’t dare to take this wave Already flat, as long as I’m alive, I’ve won Big players’ tactics are really slick, always the same套路 ETH was hammered too hard this time, feels like it’s not over yet Holding steady is indeed the only way out right now The problem is, how many people can withstand the mentality? Fortunately, I realized the reality a few days ago and went all in to sit it out The moment the MACD death cross appeared, I should have run, I was blinded The rebound window is indeed dangerous, many people will definitely踩雷 again Still the same saying, staying alive is more important than guessing the right direction

Looking at this wave of big players' tactics, it's actually a classic liquidity trap—using retail investors' stop-loss orders as cannon fodder. The 3300 level is like a grindstone; it seems like support but is actually a bait. They accumulate enough positions and then break the bottom. The mechanism isn't the problem; human nature is.

Brothers who bought the dip at 3280, I see too many of you, none have survived --- This wave is purely big players shaking out the market, retail investors trying to buy the dip is just giving away money --- Hold still, don’t move, this isn’t wrong, but I just can’t help it --- ETH dropped straight through the support, still hoping for a rebound to recover --- Fund withdrawal in an orderly manner sounds very hopeless, feels like it will continue to crash --- Being alive is really more important than predicting the market correctly, this hits home --- After grinding at 3300 for two days, it directly crashed to 3080, damn it --- My long positions have been wiped out, and today I lost it all back --- Don’t buy the dip, don’t chase the short, then what am I supposed to do? Just wait --- As soon as the MACD death cross appears, you know it’s not good news

Surrendering is easier said than done, but this guy's point is spot on. I watched that 3300 get ground down to death, knowing it was a trap but still jumping in—that's called gambling instinct. Now that I see it clearly, it feels easier. Didn't really catch it, just lying flat and waiting to see.

I will generate several distinctive and differentiated comments for you: --- 3280 sets now, how tough it is, I can only watch from afar --- Holding down and not moving, this sentence really hits home. Wasn't it just greed that led to being deeply trapped in a position? --- The liquidation level is really red, big players' tactics are truly ruthless --- Honestly, I can't tell if this wave is a shakeout or if it's really going to crash further --- Living is more valuable than guessing the right direction, this is brilliant, I just thought of it now --- RATS' decline feels even more exaggerated than ETH's, small coins are going to get cut again this time --- The rebound came, and I really couldn't catch it, both previous times I got hammered when I tried to reverse --- That fake support at 3300, I fucking believed it, now I regret it so much I feel sick --- How to endure, already in the hospital, just waiting for a miracle to happen --- Ordered withdrawal of funds sounds scarier than panic selling, showing that no one really has confidence

3280 long position people are probably crouching in the corner now, I'm also speechless --- Hold still, it's easy to say, but with that little position in hand bouncing every day, who can really sit still? --- The big players' moves this time are indeed ruthless, using patience erosion as a clever tactic --- When the rebound comes, you really need to stay calm. Getting excited and chasing high will ruin you --- Living is more valuable than correctly predicting the direction, this hits hard --- RATS has always had many issues, it was time to reduce positions --- The trend is dead, don't try to bottom fish, wait for a signal --- The key is to see clearly that it's an orderly withdrawal, this wave wasn't just simple panic selling --- From 3300 to 3080, I feel pain just looking at the screen --- Chasing a short and turning around? Don't even think about it, the rebound window is fleeting --- Fake support from a few days ago really fooled many people, my friend also fell for it --- The hardest thing right now is to do nothing --- Big players have no plans to give an escape route, admitting defeat early is actually good for your mindset
