Recently, I've been pondering a question: why do some people "buy and then fall, sell and then rise"? It's not bad luck, but rather because they fail to see the invisible capital game within the market. Today, I want to explain this logic thoroughly.



**The Psychological Battle Driven by Capital**

Trends never appear out of nowhere; they always originate from capital flows, which are driven by human nature's repeated patterns. Let's consider a real scenario:

At the bottom, the coin price keeps declining, and retail investors are scared and sell off directly, fearing total loss. Just at this moment, those seasoned institutions or veterans quietly start their布局. They are patient and intentionally let the price fluctuate within a certain range, gradually shaking out the small retail holders' chips. When most of the indecisive holders are shaken out, a sudden surge with high volume shoots the price up—this is the wave of market movement you missed.

Reaching the top is another story. When the coin price rises to an eye-catching level, late-coming retail investors can no longer resist the temptation, and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) drives them to rush in. By this time, smart money has already sold in batches. Even if positive news floods in and the sentiment is overwhelmingly bullish, the big funds have already exited gracefully, leaving only stagnation or even a sharp decline in price.

The key point here is: the formation of a trend requires a process (accumulation or distribution) to truly爆发. Many people only focus on candlestick patterns but fail to understand the story behind the volume and chip flow—this is why they fall into traps.

**A Bottom Line in Trading**

My personal methodology is simple: only trade those trends that have already been clearly confirmed, never try to guess bottoms or tops. Behind this approach are two practical mental principles— but that topic deserves a dedicated discussion, so I’ll leave it here for today.

The crucial thing to understand is: the market always repeats this script, and what you need to do is wait until the trend is truly formed before taking action, rather than being driven by emotions.

It's the same old story, right? What you said is correct, but after hearing it, you still have to pay the tuition...

It's the same old story, acting as if you've never been washed out before.

Well said. I always understand this set of logic every time, but when it comes to actual trading, I still get cut... This wave is indeed explained thoroughly. The flow of chips is invisible, and we are just the group that gets washed out. Wait for the trend to be confirmed before jumping in. It's easy to say, but who can resist during the FOMO moment? Institutions play psychological warfare really well. We retail investors are just meat on the chopping board.

It should be pointed out that your argument contains a fundamental logical paradox — since the chip flow is so difficult to interpret, what makes you confident that you can "clearly confirm the trend"? This is just another layer of self-deception.
