This afternoon, a major exchange announced that it would delist three coins: FIS, REI, and VOXEL.

The result? FIS rose by 5.2%, VOXEL went up 5.83%, and only REI dropped by 1.31%. Seeing these numbers left me stunned.

Logically, being delisted by a top platform is basically a death sentence—liquidity dries up, and the price should plummet. But reality doesn’t follow the script; the market loves this kind of counterintuitive move.

This actually says a lot: the current market is a pure game of speculation. Do those who rush in to buy the dip really think they’ve found a “value opportunity”? I doubt it. It’s more like a game of musical chairs—treating the delisting as a sign that the “bad news is fully priced in,” betting that the panic sellers are gone, pumping the price to attract attention, and then dumping as soon as retail traders follow in. This isn’t investing—it’s pure gambling.

Don’t just focus on the short-term moves of these coins. Look deeper: exchanges are clearing out small-cap coins at the end of the year, which is a dangerous signal in itself—the risks of low-market-cap, illiquid altcoins are rising sharply. Surviving the bear market is what really matters.

Here are a few tips for retail investors:

First, stay away from these delisted coin rebounds. Playing with fire like this isn’t for either of us.

Second, immediately check your holdings. If you have coins that only trade on a few platforms or are ranked low by market cap, get rid of them. These are high-risk assets.

Third, if you don’t understand the market, sit on the sidelines in cash. Right now, it’s not about who makes more, but who can survive until the next bull run.

It’s the end of the year, and major exchanges are all doing “house cleaning.” Who do you think will be the next to get kicked out? If you’re holding coins you’re unsure about, keep a close eye on industry news—don’t wait for the announcement to panic.

There’s never a surefire way to win in crypto, but those who understand the rhythms make fewer mistakes. Survival in volatility is key—cash and patience are more important than anything else.

FIS-6.99%

REI-6.22%

VOXEL-3.06%

It's a manipulated market, clear as day. Delisting but the price goes up—who would believe that?

So funny, it's yet another game of hot potato. --- Bottom fishing these coins really is a case of going in with your brain and coming out with your ass. --- REI dropped the hardest, which means some people really believed the "all the bad news is priced in" line—now they're bleeding money. --- It's always like this: if you don't understand a coin, just don't touch it. The tokens being delisted by exchanges at year-end are all ticking time bombs. --- Cash is king, seriously, nothing wrong with that. Surviving the bear market is more important than anything. --- Wait, after this eye-catching rebound, isn't the next step just a dump? What are retail investors really gambling on? --- I cleared out those low-cap coins from my portfolio ages ago—this announcement actually came right on time. --- If you can read the market rhythm, you avoid more traps; if you can't, just stay in cash. Anyway, any profits now are just from playing the game. --- I bet the next coin to get kicked out will be some illiquid shitcoin—exchanges just love to play it this way.

It’s all just a trick, basically the same old market maker shakeout routine. Retail investors really think they’re getting a bargain? Wait and see, by the end of the year even more coins will be cleared out—then you’ll see what real liquidity drought looks like. This rally is just baiting people, don’t follow the trend, seriously. Delisting rebound? I advise you not to touch it. You’ll lose way more often than you win with this kind of play. The key is to survive—don’t worry about short-term ups and downs. If you make it to next spring, you’ll be the real winner.

Here we go again, delisted and the price goes up? I’ve seen this trick too many times, it’s unbelievable. I can’t play these high-risk games, closing my positions and staying on the sidelines is the best move. Those still rushing in are just gambling with musical chairs, waiting to get rekt.

It's the same old "all the bad news is priced in" trick—they really take retail investors for fools.

This is really absurd—delisted and still going up? What does that tell you? It means a bunch of people are gambling on one last frenzy before the next shakeout. You really need to clear out those altcoins in your hands; don’t wait until the big year-end purge to start crying.

This is a typical "dead cat bounce" trick to fleece retail investors, treating them like fools. --- FIS and VOXEL are going up instead? No wonder I almost bought them the other day... Glad I didn't pull the trigger. Looks like I need to learn how to follow the whales and spot these tricks. --- That's right, only real daredevils would still try to chase these delisted tokens now. I really can't handle this high-risk knife-edge game. --- Year-end delisting of small tokens is probably just cleaning out the junk. I already dumped all the crap coins from my portfolio. Now I'm just relying on Bitcoin to make money. --- The musical chairs analogy is spot on. They're just waiting to dump when the retail investors buy in. Forget calling it investing—this is pure gambling. --- Surviving the bear market is the real deal. Those who only want one big win will almost always get wiped out right before dawn.

The chip distribution shows that wave of buy orders wasn't from retail investors, now that's interesting [smile] Typical retail investor mentality, delisting = buying opportunity? The pattern is already formed, RSI has long been over 80, if you don't understand technicals, don't go all in. Year-end wave of removals—next to be eliminated will definitely be those small tokens that only survive on exchanges. I mentioned this to my group 3 days ago. Never chase this kind of rebound. Probability strategies tell me the odds are on the short side. Overheated sentiment is when retail investors are most easily slaughtered. When market sentiment indicators soar, that's precisely the most dangerous time. If you don't understand, just stay out; cash is king.

This is the real game of musical chairs; those buying the dip now are all betting on the next person to take over.
