In the cryptocurrency market, as you gain experience, you'll gradually discover a set of invisible patterns. Those seemingly random price fluctuations actually follow certain routines—there really are tricks behind them.

First, let's talk about timing patterns. When the market starts to dip during the day in China, many people's first reaction is to buy the dip. But don't rush. Around 21:30 in the evening, foreign funds often start to push the price up. Conversely, if there's a sharp rise during the day, don't chase the trend; it’s likely to pull back in the evening. This is no coincidence; it has happened repeatedly.

Next, look at trading signals. A spike—those sudden drops followed by quick recoveries—are often the strongest buy or sell signals. The deeper the spike, the more it indicates that the big players are testing the bottom, making the subsequent direction clearer.

News also follows certain routines. Before major meetings or good news, the market tends to rally, but once the news is actually implemented, prices tend to fall. The coins discussed most actively in groups are usually the most dangerous at that time. The more excited you are, the more likely you are to get trapped. A counterintuitive strategy works well here: when everyone is shorting a coin, it might actually take off.

Position size and psychology are even more critical. If you're heavily invested, the risk of liquidation inexplicably increases—because the exchange is monitoring your liquidation list. If you've set a stop-loss on a short position? It doesn't matter; the price will likely continue to fall (coins like TRB have experienced this). When you're close to breaking free, just a little more, and then a sudden rebound gets stuck—this isn't technical; it's the big players deliberately tricking you into selling.

There are also tricks to taking profits. When you decide to take profits, the price suddenly surges—because once you sell, it becomes easier for the big players to push the price up, reducing their capital pressure.

The most painful part: when you're broke and have no money to buy, all projects are rising, and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) pressure makes it hard to breathe.

Therefore, there's over an 80% chance that the market is being manipulated. The only way to survive is to control your position size and act proactively—let the big players reveal their cards first, then follow their lead, rather than rushing in blindly and becoming fish on the exchange's chopping block.
