This wave of delivery volume hits a new record high—230 billion in scale. How will the market absorb it?

Interestingly, from the candlestick chart, it seems to be playing out a "rise first, then fall" script. Ethereum opened quite a few short positions around the 3000 level, then added more at 3080. This operational logic is quite intriguing—are they testing support or paving the way for a big drop?

As the delivery date approaches, the battle among large funds is already reflected in the price. At this point, small retail investors are the most likely to be shaken out.

23 billion? That's quite a move. Retail investors should either buy the dip or run away again. --- 3000 short positions, 3080 buy orders... This operation really has me a bit confused, feels like big funds are playing chess. --- Before the delivery date, this game of tug-of-war, retail investors are really just being cut like leeks. --- The script of rising first and then falling, who will be trapped this time? I'm a bit curious. --- With a volume of 23 billion, whether it absorbs or not, retail investors are the ones taking the hit anyway. --- The candlestick chart is telling a story, waiting to be proven wrong. --- At this critical moment, following the trend is the easiest way to get into trouble. --- Are big funds testing support? Or are they paving the way for a fall? Anyway, I can't see through it.

23 billion... Retail investors are probably going to get cut again in this wave. --- That order correction at 3080 is indeed a bit suspicious, feels like a trap. --- The night before settlement is always the most dangerous, understand? --- I just want to know who can come out alive in this wave. --- Once again, big funds are setting traps, small investors can only watch and follow. --- Playing the pattern of rising first and then falling has been overused. Why are people still falling for it? --- 23 billion in volume... How long would it take to digest this? --- Riding back and forth between 3000 and 3080, I’m almost out of pants.

23 billion? Retail investors are in trouble now, and big players are playing tricks again. This move is quite fierce. The 3000 short sellers are adding another position. Are they trying to trap people with this show? Delivery day is harvest day. We small investors should just honestly eat some leftovers.

23 billion? This time it's a big move, feels like a crash is coming Buying at 3000 and selling at 3080, a typical trap to lure more buyers It's delivery day again, time to get cut First rally, then fall; seasoned traders have already exited This move is probably a trap set by big funds Small retail investors will likely be left holding the bag Feels like a shakeout is coming; be mentally prepared

ngl the algorithmic dance at 3000-3080 is basically a generative pattern exploring liquidity mechanics through price discovery... truly fascinating how the blockchain primitive reveals itself through order flow topology
