RENDER this round of decline is really quite heartbreaking. From the high of 2.484 down to the current 2.148, that bearish candle breaking through 2.141 should make many people realize that this is not just a casual technical correction.



Carefully analyzing the market logic makes it clear. The main force deliberately pushed up to 2.267 to attract retail investors to enter, then immediately started a real downtrend. This step-by-step grinding rhythm is a classic "boiling frog" tactic—whenever you think the bottom is near and try to catch the dip, the price drops again, repeatedly eroding your patience and capital.

The most painful part is this bottomless decline. It’s not a sudden crash; rather, this slow downward movement is the most crushing because you always feel it might rebound, always want to wait a bit longer. But in reality, retail investors’ greed is exactly what the main force is exploiting to the fullest.

Honestly, missing out on a small rebound and losing some opportunity cost is better than losing everything here. Based on the current trend, this wave of decline has clearly not been fully unleashed, and continuing to hold is too costly in terms of time. Don’t expect miracles like a volume breakout; being rational and exiting to observe might be wiser than blindly catching the bottom.

the mempool's been screaming at us since 2.267 tbh... those gwei patterns don't lie, watched the transaction flow flip right before the wick. it's not even about the price anymore, it's the inefficiency of it all—everyone's burning gas on false hope while the network knows better. i'd rather miss the bounce than watch my portfolio bleed out in slow motion ngl

Oh no, it's the same old trick again, the main players just love to play retail investors like this.

Boiling a frog in warm water, I really can't believe it. I keep thinking it's bottomed out, but then it crashes again.

Honestly, I'm a bit tired. Watching the principal slowly erode is truly despairing.

Instead of waiting for a miracle, it's better to observe first. This rhythm definitely isn't over yet.

Sell, sell, let's get out first.

This kind of gradual decline is more damaging to the mindset than a crash. I admit I'm inexperienced.

Wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer. The more you wait, the more you lose—face-slapping.

It feels like the main players are just waiting for us to go all in. It's an old routine.

Still the same saying: surviving and coming out alive is more important than anything else.

The main force's technique is truly brilliant. I just like this slow grinding feeling, making you always think there's still hope, but in the end, the account becomes more and more empty.

The analogy of boiling frogs in warm water is perfect; it's just so uncomfortable.

The main force's move was indeed ruthless. I almost fell for the 2.267 wave as well.

A slow decline is more torturous than a crash; every time I think it might rebound, but then it drops again.

Instead of waiting for the bottom here, it's better to exit first. The time cost is really unbearable.

After breaking 2.141, it's a bit risky; it feels like it still needs to go lower.

The mindset of bottom fishing is the easiest to be eaten up; this time, I’ve learned a lesson.

This kind of slow decline rhythm tests human nature the most. I’ve decided to observe for now.

This wave is really incredible; boiling a frog in warm water is truly disgusting.
