Seeing prices rise rapidly, don't rush to chase the highs. Those seemingly aggressive upward movements in the market are essentially traps to lure more buyers. Longs are easily attracted, but the real danger is—shorts never truly die.

Every upward wave hides risks. When retail investors rush to follow the trend, institutions are quietly offloading. The more violent the price increase, the sharper the subsequent decline often is. This is an unchanging rule of the market.

What's the key point? Don't be fooled by the surge. Always remember: the victory of the bulls is often only temporary, and the bears always have a chance to turn the tables. That's why many people make money during a strong rally but lose everything in the subsequent decline.

Is this set again? Every time it rises, you say it's a trap to lure buyers; every time it falls, you say I told you so. It's really annoying. --- Come on, institutions dump and retail chase the high. This is old news, talking as if you're a god. --- You're right, but it’s useless. The key is how to know in advance which ones are traps. --- Laughing to death, chasing the high loses money; not chasing the high also loses money. Do I just have to sleep with stablecoins? --- That's why I only trade during the last 15 minutes. --- Both bulls and bears have opportunities, but that just means there are no real opportunities—it's all about luck. --- 🤔 The trap of luring to buy is easy to say; in plain words, you just didn't catch the bottom. --- Every wave mentions hidden risks; the market has long been used to your risk warnings. --- If that's the case, why bother? Just go all-in on stablecoins and be done with it. --- I agree that the short position will never die, but the theory of luring to buy has already been fooled several times.

Is it this again? Every time they say institutions are dumping, but my friends still made a lot of money. I just want to ask, how do you tell if it's a trap or a real rise? I've been hearing this for so many years, those chasing the high still get rich, those bottom-fishing still lose money. It feels like armchair strategizing after the fact; when the opportunity really comes, it's still nerve-wracking. History repeats, but it will never be exactly the same. Human nature is greed; no matter how much you advise, it's useless. The turnaround of the bears depends on the macro environment; just watching the charts is pointless. You're right, but it doesn't help; who doesn't want to catch the bottom? I don't believe your nonsense; next time it really rises, someone will definitely call it a trap to lure more in.

It's the same old story again, institutions offloading and retail investors taking the bait. It was said the same way last year, and I still got trapped. I think, instead of obsessing over these things every day, it's more practical to learn how to cut losses. Hey, speaking of which, why haven't those who kept calling for a bear market made any money? This time really is different... right? I'm a bit tired of hearing this kind of argument.

Back at it again? Every time it rises, you say it's a trap to lure buyers; when it falls, you say you've seen through it all. Truly a master of winning. --- Institutional dumping? Bro, how do you know they're dumping right now? You're talking like you have insider info. --- Wait, if that's the case, then why even trade coins? Just go all-in on stablecoins. --- That's not wrong to say, but the problem is, who can accurately judge the top? Anyway, I can't buy the bottom. --- No wonder I always chase the high and get caught. Turns out the big players already sold out, and I'm still taking the risk. --- After three years of hearing this, the ones making money are those daring to chase the highs. I, who listen to advice, have missed out. --- It's ridiculous—no one says it's a trap to short when it falls, but when it rises, it's all about traps to lure buyers. Double standards are off the charts. --- The idea that bears have a chance to turn around isn't wrong; the problem is, you have to survive until that day.

Here we go again, every time it rises, you say it's a trap to lure buyers, and when it falls, you say I knew it all along... You talk about institutions dumping and retail investors taking the hit every day, but why don't you tell us when you're going to buy in?

Here we go again? Every time you say not to chase the high, but when it rises, everyone gets envious. How many times have we said that institutions are dumping? How many can truly avoid it? I'm just worried that after making a little profit, you want to run, but end up missing the real market move.
