A few days before the crash, many people again look for even lower prices.

Most people have linear thinking about the rise and fall of candlestick charts,
instead of cycle thinking that starts from underlying logic.

What retail traders think doesn’t matter—when the smart money just pushes prices up for a few days, or slams the market by dumping hard, market sentiment changes immediately.

But some things never change.
Trading is about researching the things that won’t change.

The market has only two people: one is the smart money, and the other is the retail trader.
The smart money has only one goal: to wipe out the retail trader,
so it can maximize its own profits.
