Full Breakdown of Market Makers’ Trading—Explaining the Risks to Brothers
From 0.2 all the way to 9 dollars, a parabolic surge of 45x—behind it all is a deliberately coordinated pump with the market maker tightly controlling everything; the follow-up playbook has long been predetermined!
The market maker’s trading methods are extremely shrewd: after consolidating sideways at low levels between 0.2-0.5 dollars for as long as one month to accumulate, the whales’ average holding cost is only 3.79 dollars, meaning their position cost is very low. They use perpetual contracts to drive the price higher and blow up shorts, then use the funds from retail liquidations to push the coin price up in the opposite direction. After that, they create false trading volume of 4.1 billion through wash trading, manufacturing the illusion of hype to lure retail traders into chasing at high prices.
A look at the market maker’s next harvesting script
1. High-level sideways consolidation and oscillation: repeatedly fluctuating in the 8-10 dollar range, making retail traders think that pullbacks are the entry opportunity, while secretly distributing in batches and slowly trapping the chips
2. Second round of inducement to drive buying and then sell off: using a small amount of capital to pump and create the illusion of a new high, attracting the last batch of retail traders who chase the highs to buy in, completing clearing out the chips
3. Cliff-like crash and sell-off: once all chips are out, directly dumping them sharply; the coin price falls violently from 9 dollars to 1 dollar or even lower, blowing up all long positions. At the same time, open shorts to harvest both directions
4. Long-term drifting downward to zero: entering a continuous downward trend, until the value ultimately approaches zero; the market maker cashes out and exits, and retail traders are completely left standing guard at the high point
Practical advice #Gate广场四月发帖挑战 $RAVE
Players who already have positions should immediately take profit and exit; don’t get greedy for the last wave of profit. Those who haven’t entered must absolutely not chase highs—entering now is no different from being the bag-holder; never touch both long and short on contracts. This coin is highly market-maker controlled, and both long and short sides will be harvested.
Remember: the core purpose of a small-cap coin’s explosive surge is only to unload; the more crazy the rally, the more brutal the crash. Holding on to principal and restraining impulsiveness is the key to profitability.#
