A certain large investor currently holds 6826 ETH long positions, with a total holdings scale of approximately 20.25 million USD. After a slight decline in the recent market data, the unrealized losses have expanded to about 100,000 USD.

The trend of this market is indeed difficult to judge—whether it is a rebound or if we are falling into the "long positions trap" again is still unclear.

But one thing is worth noting: for players who focus on trend trading, the current market environment is not friendly. Especially when the market falls into a range-bound oscillation mode, where prices fluctuate repeatedly within a certain range, this kind of "back-and-forth face-slapping" market is precisely the easiest to create losses.

The characteristics of a range-bound market are unclear direction and frequent fluctuations, which often trigger stop-loss orders or cause investors to repeatedly chase highs and sell lows. For trend traders, this is simply an unsolvable dilemma—unable to earn from the big directional moves, they are instead gradually exhausted by small fluctuations.

The range fluctuations are really incredible, with stop loss orders being hit one after another... They say large investors hold 6826 ETH, and an unrealized loss of 100,000 isn't a big deal, but what about us retail investors... Rather than guessing whether it’s a rebound or a trap, it’s better to wait for clear signals before entering a position. In such a market environment, trend trading truly has poor odds, and it feels like the chips are being slowly eaten away. The most annoying part of the range fluctuations is the frequent stop losses; let’s wait and see if it can break the level.

Range fluctuations are truly the nightmare of trend traders; if not handled properly, one could end up as lambs ready to be played people for suckers.

Range fluctuation is the deadliest, stop loss one after another bleeding... --- 100,000 unrealized losses are nothing, I've seen people return to square one overnight --- It's another one of those "unclear" markets, so damn annoying --- Trend trading in this environment is just being played for suckers, speechless --- Getting slapped back and forth? Feels like the whole market is playing me --- Still holding 6,826 ETH, how strong must the mindset be --- Range market = Be Played for Suckers model, very clear --- Why are there still people following such markets, just giving away money? --- Being drained by small fluctuations is the most desperate, seriously --- Rebound or trap? Can't guess this broken market at all

Range fluctuations are just to play people for suckers in trend trading, and here I am being played. Really, 100,000 unrealized losses are nothing, what I fear is the account being eaten away bit by bit. I hate this kind of market the most, it clearly feels like it can rise but it just doesn't, and it feels like it can fall but is rebounding at the bottom, completely unable to grasp the direction. Sigh, I guess I’ll wait, let’s talk after this wave of fluctuations ends. Wait, don’t the Large Investors set a stop loss? The unrealized losses can continue to expand. In a range market, trend traders really have it hard, every time the stop loss is at the bottom.
