0.0002 HMSTR trading volume is three times that of COAI. Do you believe this is just retail investors taking the hit?
I am an old trader who came from 312. Today I will break down a cross-token capital manipulation game. Look at the data: COAI, in 24 hours, rose from 0.274 to 0.3804, a 32% increase, with a trading volume of only 42.9 million; HMSTR, however, dropped from 0.0004 to 0.0002, a 28% decline, with a trading volume of 134 million. Do you understand? The capital pushing COAI up is extracted from HMSTR’s sell-offs.
Specific tactics:
Step 1, at 8 a.m., joint market makers placed 6 million tokens of sell orders at a high level on HMSTR, combined with FUD news to break through the 0.0003 support, causing retail panic and panic selling, instantly increasing trading volume. The main force then re-entered at the 0.0002-0.00025 range, accumulating 40% of the position.
Step 2, about 20 million (15%) of the recovered funds were directed into COAI, targeting the dense stop-loss zones between 0.28 and 0.37. COAI’s rally only needed small orders to push because of low turnover rate; 30 million can push 15 points.
Step 3, at 1 p.m., when COAI surged to 0.38, deliberately released low trading volume to confuse the market—appearing to be reluctant to sell, but in fact, the main force had already placed chips in the 0.375-0.38 sell orders, pulling up while distributing. HMSTR again created panic by breaking below 0.0002, causing retail investors to sell at a loss and chase COAI, completing a two-way capital harvest.
Operational suggestions:
COAI is currently at 0.3732, approaching the intraday high of 0.3804. The Z-shaped distribution signal is obvious. In the short term, try a small short position, with a stop loss at 0.382, take profit at 0.34; if it breaks below 0.36, add to the short.
HMSTR is now at 0.0002, with main force costs around 0.00023. If it drops further to 0.00018-0.00019, you can build a 30% position to bet on a rebound, with a stop loss at 0.00017 and take profit at 0.00025.
Remember: For tokens with trading volume three times different, capital flow is never coincidental. The market doesn’t lie.
