Looking at the four-hour chart, although the candlestick shows a bearish signal, the trading volume hasn't followed suit. This indicates that the current decline is just a false move. Traders who specialize in technical indicators are usually very cautious about such signals and won't easily establish short positions.



However, to be honest, the room for a continued upward surge is also quite limited. From a fundamental perspective, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates anytime soon. Coupled with tense geopolitical situations, the market manipulation logic under this background is quite clear—first, to prevent people from easily shorting, and second, to torment existing short positions until traders' psychology collapses. This actually reveals important information: the price can't go up or down, leading to a stalemate.

My expectation is as follows: initially, there will be a downward adjustment of about 2 points, then a rebound that hits stop-losses, and only after that will a real decline be triggered. Therefore, I remain optimistic about the current bearish trend, possibly taking profits near the decline target and re-entering after a rebound. Of course, this judgment assumes no other black swan events disrupt the rhythm.

The trading volume indeed hasn't kept up, it's definitely a fake move. The market makers are using this routine, messing with short positions and breaking traders' mentality, then they start to take real action. The stalemate is boring to death, let's wait for a rebound opportunity. The Federal Reserve not cutting interest rates, things will get complicated later. Price and volume are not matching, better to observe first and then decide. This move might just be a trick to hit stop-losses, an old routine. It's stuck and can't go up, nor can it go down, an awkward position. Black swan risks should be watched carefully, don't get caught off guard by sudden events. Mindset is the most important, don't let the market makers mess with you. It looks like it will take a while to find a direction.

Wow, this move is really messing with the short positions. The market maker's tactics are too skilled.

The trading volume really can't keep up with this detail, every time it's the same trick played on us again and again.

honestly the volume divergence thing is giving me algorithmic beauty vibes... low volume dumps are basically digital sovereignty in action, the market's immutable ledger refusing to validate the move, you know?

The decline with unconvincing volume indeed feels somewhat hollow; the manipulators are quite skilled at playing their tricks of trapping short positions.

The market is manipulating again, this old trick is so cliché. Wait for the rebound before getting in, stay calm. The dealer's psychological game, don't get crushed. With such low trading volume, it's definitely a fake fall. When the black swan arrives, everything is over; risk management is still the top priority. The stalemate is just building up energy. How many times has the stop-loss been hit through, it's exhausting.

Trading volume isn't following, this wave of decline is indeed fake --- The dealer's combination punch is played very skillfully, how many stop-losses have been smashed? --- Stalemate, let's wait for the black swan to break the deadlock --- Adjusting by 2 points and then repeatedly smashing, this rhythm is an old trick --- The bears still have to wait, it's easy to get cut if you intervene now --- The Federal Reserve not cutting interest rates is really a lifeline for the bears

It's the same old trick again. The trading volume isn't diverging from price and volume, and you're still putting on a show? What I fear most right now isn't the decline, but this stalemate. Gas fees have also gone up, making it painful to try to catch the bottom.

Trading volume doesn't follow, I'm too familiar with this tactic, just to prevent you from comfortably shorting The market maker's move this time is truly brilliant, both messing with the shorts and trapping the longs, holding the stalemate to the end I also want to buy the dip on the rebound, but I'm worried about a black swan crashing the market This wave drops another 2 points and then repeatedly hits, feels like we're about to be cut again I agree with your logic, but this market loves to give reverse signals, be cautious

Is the volume not matching? Then let's wait a bit longer. Anyway, I'm already tired of the tricks the big players are using. --- Yeah, this trading approach is okay, but I'm just worried that a black swan might suddenly come and ruin the scene. --- Stalemate situations are really annoying. Not being able to go up or down feels like torture. --- The part about being stopped out on a short position is so true. I've been caught like that before. --- The real issue is the Federal Reserve not cutting interest rates. Everything else is just superficial. --- I agree with the idea of waiting for a rebound before entering. It's much better than stubbornly holding at the bottom.
