#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 Recently, I've been talking to some retail investors who got caught in a position, discussing the experience with a low-liquidity coin. To be honest, these small coins are basically gambling—completely dominated by market makers, and retail investors have no say whatsoever. For example, someone entered at 0.18, and now it's dropped to 0.43, still holding the position with unrealized losses exceeding tens of thousands of USDT. Looking at this wave of movement, there are no signs of a correction; it’s just a strong upward trend all the way.



From a technical analysis perspective, short positions have definitely accumulated quite a bit, and the game rules for market makers are very clear—push the price up to trigger a short squeeze, then dump to harvest the gains. The ceiling of this rally is entirely dependent on where the back-end wants to trigger the short squeeze. This is the reality of the crypto market: retail investors, even if they see the direction correctly, cannot hold onto it because they have no idea when the market maker will turn hostile.

$BTC @ETH and other leading coins still have fundamentals to support them, but projects with lacking liquidity pose risks that are on a completely different level. For retail investors, understanding these game strategies is more important than just participating.
BTC-0.84%
ETH-4.03%

Wake up, everyone. Small coins are just the big players' cash machines; retail investors are only there to get cut.

0.18 bought-in still here, this is the result of gambling --- The tricks of the house are always the same, retail investors will always be the last to catch the bag --- Getting the right call but still can't hold, this is the most heartbreaking part --- Small tokens are just black holes, once you go in, don't expect to get out intact --- Top-tier coins still have a way out, small tokens are purely about money --- Losing thousands of USDT really feels hopeless, why would you still gamble on such things --- Understanding the rules and participating are two different things, most people lack this awareness --- The ceiling of a surge is determined by the backstage, we are just pawns --- Coins with poor liquidity can't escape the top, they can't even be sold --- Shorts get liquidated and then dump the market, I've seen this routine too many times
