#比特币与黄金战争 $PIPPIN's recent trend is indeed interesting. After the surge yesterday, the price got stuck in a sideways range. Looking closely at this operational logic, the scattered funds that chased the high in the previous round are tightly trapped, and during this consolidation phase, those shorting are also continuously losing funds due to fees—both sides are bleeding. This trading rhythm is honestly a bit ruthless; during the rally, almost no opportunity was given to retail investors to get on board, as the price was pushed up instantly. By the time they react, it’s already at a high level. Then, this kind of sideways grinding leaves those who entered earlier in a dilemma. Shorting might have hope, but the funding fees are also burning money every hour. The exchange’s market makers are masters at this two-pronged attack, seemingly digesting the sideways movement, but in reality, they are mining gold from retail investors’ pockets in both directions. This extremely asymmetric trading environment truly reminds people why most retail investors find it so hard to make money in the crypto space.
