Recently, an interesting phenomenon has been observed. Mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are experiencing price dips, but some altcoins are rising against the trend. Coins like DUSK and GUN are typical examples. What does this usually indicate? The big players are running out of money and are preparing to harvest.

Seeing abnormal surges doesn't mean you should rush to short. This is a trap. True traders need patience—observe for a few more days, study market data more thoroughly, and confirm the trend before deciding whether to enter. Blindly shorting is like gambling, but what we need is fact-based judgment. Wait until the signals are clearer before acting, so you can minimize risks. Market opportunities are always present; there's no need to rush to make money in the short term.

DUSK-21,75%

How should I put it, I've been hearing this kind of rhetoric for years haha --- Is it really necessary to wait when the pump of altcoins is so obvious? I would just go short directly --- Patience? Easy to say, the market only lasts a few seconds --- Mainstream coins spike while altcoins surge, it sounds like the market makers are bleeding the retail investors, but honestly, this wave might just be capital rotation --- There's nothing wrong with not rushing to make money, the problem is that by the time you confirm the signal, you’ve already missed the opportunity --- Wait a few days before acting, but I feel like you're just making excuses not to trade --- I haven't looked into DUSK and GUN at all, can you tell me why these two are particularly worth paying attention to? --- There are too many traps, so I might as well not touch altcoins and just stick to Bitcoin honestly

The old trick of pumping altcoins, I've seen it many times before. But to be fair, those rushing to buy the dip are all retail investors; you have to wait. Mainstream coins need to drop before altcoins surge; you really need to see this signal clearly. The key to lasting the longest is to avoid unnecessary trades. Pinning the needle is one thing, don't be lured into a false breakout; this game is full of tricks.

Mainstream coins spike while altcoins surge, this trick is so old, the manipulators only have these moves. Wait, is it true? DUSK is still rising? I need to check the candlestick chart first. Patience is easy to talk about, but who can stay calm when losing money, haha. Before shorting, make sure to confirm first, so you don't get caught again. I don't quite understand this wave of altcoins; it feels like they're all just acting. Not chasing, not chasing, wait for clear signals before taking action, anyway, the money can't run away.

Altcoins surging against the trend is indeed suspicious, but brother, I've heard this kind of explanation many times before. And the result? You still have to figure it out yourself. Waiting for clear signals? Sometimes by the time it's clear, the boat tickets are already gone. The key is how to distinguish between a genuine surge and a false breakout. But to be fair, blindly shorting is indeed suicidal, I agree with that. Whether this wave is caused by whales pouring money in or genuine positive news, I think we need to look at on-chain data. It's right not to rush to make money immediately, but I'm just worried about missing the market if you wait too long.
