Why do retail investors always get cut? To put it simply, it's not that you haven't encountered market trends, but that you're being led by the nose by price fluctuations, and you haven't really understood what tricks the big players are playing.

The套路 (套路) is nothing more than these steps.

First is rapid dumping. When the price drops, most people can't react in time; their only thought is—get out quickly. While you're panicking to stop losses, your chips are being eaten up at the bottom bit by bit. This is exactly what the main force loves to do.

Once they've collected enough chips, the market doesn't immediately take off; instead, it enters the most torturous phase—consolidation. Repeated ups and downs, fuzzy direction, like grinding your patience. Many retail investors happen to sell their chips at this time, which they shouldn't.

When emotions are worn down enough and the price begins to slowly rise, trading volume gradually increases, and the market starts shouting "It's going to fly," with follow-the-leader traders rushing in. Real distribution isn't about dumping everything at once but about pulling and dumping simultaneously, creating fake pressure to make you think there's a sell-off, while actually forcing you to hand over chips. Too many chasing highs, and high-level distribution is truly completed.

To put it plainly, the main force has two points nailed down: you're afraid of retracement, and you love chasing rallies.

To avoid being repeatedly harvested, the key isn't guessing the rise or fall but controlling your own rhythm. Don't change your stance just because of a few candlesticks, and don't let emotions place your orders. Look at the structure, find the right position, be patient when waiting, and act decisively when it's time. The same applies to mainstream coins like SOL, ETH, and others.

Ultimately, whether your account can gradually recover depends never just on market trends but more on your own execution. Once you get the rhythm right, many pitfalls that could have swallowed you can be successfully avoided.
