After being in the market for a long time, you understand: there are countless tricks in trading, but the script for chip washing never changes. Recently, the trend of a certain asset is a perfect example, a must-see for beginners.
Creating despair: the price drops from 1.2 to 0.9, volume shrinks, emotions collapse, retail investors cut losses and exit, while the main force quietly absorbs the chips, harvesting fear-based chips.
Fake rebound, true trap: after dropping to 0.7, it quickly rebounds to 0.95, enticing retail investors to buy the dip, then it drops below the previous low to 0.65, trapping those who bought the bottom.
Panic harvesting: negative news floods in, the price falls to 0.5, the market wails, but on-chain data shows large addresses frantically accumulating chips, taking away cheap chips.
Reversal and rebirth: when everyone admits defeat, the main force pushes the price up to 1, those who cut losses regret, spectators chase, completing the chip reshuffle.
The essence of chip washing is replacing people — washing out low-cost old retail investors and welcoming high-cost new ones.
A sharp drop is not the end, but the beginning of chip reorganization. Understanding the rhythm is key to avoiding being harvested.
