Market consolidation over a long period often indicates stronger upward momentum. This is an important rule of the trading market—the time span of horizontal consolidation determines the amplitude of future vertical fluctuations. During seemingly calm fluctuations, capital players are actually actively positioning themselves in the background; the more chips accumulated, the stronger the upward force when the price breaks through in the future. This is what is known as the "large capital build a position phase"; it appears calm on the surface, but in reality, it has laid the foundation for a significant rise.
The sudden drop during the consolidation phase is usually just a means for the capital side to clean up floating positions, and such pullbacks often lead to a rise; conversely, an unexpected rapid rise should not be celebrated too early, as it may just be a strategy to lure more people in. The capital side uses this method to filter out holders lacking confidence, preparing for the real market launch. Remember, true investment opportunities will only arise after the chip cleaning phase is over.
