When the market rises, some people start hyping up that the market is about to launch; when it falls, they quickly change their tune and say it's just a normal pullback or correction. When it consolidates sideways, it’s even more absurd — they directly define it as a main force shakeout. This kind of rhetoric sounds like it explains everything, but in reality, it explains nothing.

What's even more hilarious is that a bunch of people spend every day doodling on candlestick charts, talking about support levels, resistance levels, and breakout patterns, turning themselves into walking encyclopedias. Technical indicators fill the screen, and their analysis sounds convincing. But when you get down to it, most of these followers are just betting on the up or down, purely a game of direction.

The players inside the market who are truly well-fed are already watching the show with a smile. They’ve already taken profits and exited, leaving these others chasing the highs and selling the lows outside — just providing liquidity for others. Don’t be fooled by the fancy technical analysis; the market’s essence has never changed: information asymmetry and cognitive gaps.

To put it simply, technical analysis is all armchair quarterbacking; those who truly make money never boast about it in groups.

Exactly right, these people are Schrödinger's analysts; no matter how they move, they always win. Studying those lines every day, what's the use? In the end, they're just getting cut. People who have already exited are drinking tea on the side, while we're still watching the support levels. Laugh out loud. This is probably the fate of retail investors—never able to profit from the information gap. Technical analysis is just a way to comfort oneself; in reality, no one can truly predict.

There's nothing wrong with that. A bunch of self-media just perform magic tricks, and the ups and downs, sideways movements all get rounded back. The ones who truly make money have already left, and what's left are just studying support levels. This game is all about information asymmetry; whoever has the inside scoop wins, everyone else is just storytelling. Watching K-line charts every day is not as good as paying more attention to the major players' movements. But on the other hand, if everyone is so smart, who would still be the retail investors?

You're so right, these people are just cash machines for the big players. --- Always talking about shakeouts, but why don't they admit they're the ones being shaken out? --- I've realized that technical analysis is just a self-hypnosis tool. --- Using a set of phrases to explain all market conditions—how clever is that? --- Dreaming while looking at the candlestick chart, and waking up to find the money gone—this cycle is truly brutal. --- The information gap is right here; who’s talking to you about support levels? --- Those who cut early are the happiest—this is an eternal truth. --- I just want to know how those who change their tune every day still have the nerve to continue analyzing the market. --- The essence of chasing gains and selling losses is just feeding the fish; waking up is too hard.

I knew it, this set of rhetoric is truly brilliant, claiming to master all market movements—up, down, and sideways. They look for support and resistance on daily candlestick charts every day, but in the end, they’re just gambling on ups and downs—ridiculous. A bunch of retail investors are still analyzing, while smart money has already left—haha. The real game is always about information asymmetry playing people. I truly respect these technical masters; they have indicators on every screen every day, yet they still can’t make money. Don’t make it so complicated; the market’s core principle is simple—who has more information wins. Saying “start of a rally,” “adjustment,” or “consolidation” to shake out traders—how can this logic lose, haha. They take profits and exit while we’re still chasing highs and selling lows—there’s a huge difference.
