Today’s market viewing was interesting. The oil & gas and insurance sectors suddenly surged, literally turning the market from a decline to a gain. CITIC Securities followed suit and strengthened, but other brokerages performed mediocrely, which really explains the situation.

On the surface, the market is rebounding, but a closer look reveals that the strength of this rebound is being subtly controlled. Why? Because if the brokerage sector collectively takes off, the main index could easily surge above 4500 points. But clearly, that doesn’t align with current expectations.

This is what is called the art of regulation. On one hand, it’s necessary to stabilize market sentiment and give investors hope; on the other hand, it’s important to suppress the pace of gains to prevent risks from excessive speculation. Being caught in the middle requires precise handling—neither allowing the trend to become too crazy nor letting the market cool off completely. It may seem casual, but every step is carefully calculated.

Oh no, it's the same old trick again. I just enjoy the feeling of being precisely manipulated. Watching CITIC alone dance while other brokerages are sleeping—it's hilarious. Is this what they call an "orderly rebound"? The 4500-point level clearly isn't meant to be broken through. Damn, it really feels like watching a movie directed perfectly.

Wow, this technique is really brilliant, just not letting you enjoy it. If all the brokerages were to pull together, 4500 would be within reach, but in the end, only CITIC stands out, and the others have bowed out. It's truly terrifying upon closer reflection. It feels like being precisely targeted, but on the other hand, is such market manipulation stable? This is what they call a "moderate rebound," just teasing us. Every move is calculated, truly a master strategist's operation.

It's the same old trick again, no wonder I got trapped yesterday. Regulation really has a clever play, both teasing and preventing margin calls. Why does CITIC get to dance alone, while other brokerages are so disappointing? The market is being tightly controlled, it's so frustrating. This environment is not free at all, full of tricks everywhere.

Starting to play this trick again, oil and gas insurance saving the day is really awesome --- Why can CITIC go strong while other brokerages can't? Smart people all know what's going on --- Regulatory art? Sounds ridiculous, honestly it's just fear of retail investors making money --- Can't hold back at 4500 points, this patience is just too painful --- Every step is in the calculator... what about us? Just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered --- This rebound is very fake, oil and gas insurance just needs a little push and it's over --- Precise control? I think it's just precise cutting of leeks --- It looks very logical but it's actually just doing whatever they want

That's precise execution! Holding the line firmly at 4500 points. Only Citic managed to break out, the other brokerages are really just lying flat. The regulators are playing chess, and we're just watching the show.

Uh... it's the same old trick, just a warning is enough --- Regulators are playing chess, retail investors are watching the show --- Precise control? I think it's just precise scalpings --- CITIC single-handedly bears the whole picture, which is indeed very interesting --- It's getting real, but I'm just worried that a black swan might come again --- So is it about stabilizing the market or preventing risks? Anyway, I can't see through it --- Why did oil, gas, and insurance suddenly rise? The logic is a bit hard to believe --- Cannot hold down 4500 points? That shows there are still considerations above --- Every step is in the calculator? I feel like it's all just chaos

Ha, CITIC is dancing alone, while other brokerages are idling. I’m familiar with this routine. Precisely targeting 4500 points, basically fearing that retail investors will go crazy. Regulators are playing chess, we are watching the show, feeling a bit powerless.

Yeah... so this is what they call "if you have hands, you can manipulate it," right? The cards are all laid out there. --- Oil and gas insurance to rescue the market is pretty ironic too. Still want to whitewash the fact that brokers can't even do that? --- Pinning it at 4500 points, I just want to ask what else is real about the rebound. --- Precise manipulation? Sounds nice, but reality is just treating retail investors as puppets on strings. --- Can't make sense of this operation, anyway I'm numb from getting fleeced, just giving up. --- CITIC leads the way alone, all other brokers collectively play dead. Way too obvious. --- Regulatory art... you mean suppression art, right haha. --- Every step is in their calculation. So my account is in their calculation too? --- Stabilizing market sentiment is basically just stabilizing the fleecing of retail investors, got it.
