After spending a long time in the cryptocurrency market, you must have heard this saying: "Only when the vast majority of retail investors surrender will the major players start to push the market up." This leads to a question — if retail investors all grit their teeth and refuse to sell, what tactics can the major players use? At first glance, this question seems reasonable, but reality is often more ruthless than imagination.
If you are not the last believer to hold on, there are plenty of ways for the major players to make you hand over your positions. The cryptocurrency market, in essence, is not a pure financial market; it is more like a deep cultivation of human nature. Don't naively think that just holding onto your coins will guarantee a win. In fact, in the carefully woven script of the major players, you might just be an NPC at their mercy.
For most retail investors, the ultimate fate is often to "buy high and sell low," being harvested ruthlessly time and again without realizing it. Today, let's discuss in detail, if retail investors really unite and choose not to sell their coins, what methods can the major players use to force you to surrender your positions?
Fierce Selling: Creating a Panic Vortex to Instantly Break Your Psychological Defenses
The purpose of major players selling is not just to lower the coin price but to make you feel fear until you completely collapse. Take this market trend as an example; ETH's price has fallen by nearly 60% in just three months. Most people's average holding cost is in the range of 3200-3400.
You insist on not selling? No problem, the major players will continue to sell, selling until you start to doubt life.
Look at a more extreme example, the altcoin RAY — suppose you bought high when its price was 5 dollars, and then the price plummeted by 90%. At this point, you might think it has bottomed out? Wrong! It can still fall another 80%. From 5 dollars to 0.5 dollars, then another 80% drop, leaving only 0.1 dollars. This is equivalent to the original 100 dollars first becoming 10 dollars, then 2 dollars. Then the major players pull the price up 10 times, from 0.1 dollars to 1 dollar. At this point, have you broken even? Not at all.
But when you see the price has risen 10 times, do you run? You don't run? Okay, the major players pull the price back up to near your cost price. At this time, you are full of hope, thinking the bull market is here, and you are reluctant to sell. Then, a fierce plunge comes, once again plunging you into the abyss of self-doubt. You think you are playing against the market? In fact, in the eyes of the major players, you are just a number in their script.
Why is it always emphasized to choose valuable coins?
The reason is simple; valuable coins, when the price falls to a certain level, will attract smart money to bottom fish, thus forming support. When ETH falls to 1000, will anyone buy? The answer is yes, a large number of people are waiting to pick up bargains. But those junk altcoins are different; no one will come to rescue, and the fall is just a fall. Even if you wait for four years to break even, the next market trend will trap you again.
Gradual Decline + Sideways Movement: Long-term Torment to "Fix and Harvest" You
While a sharp drop in coin price can cause panic, the most exhausting is the long period of gradual decline and sideways movement. Especially for those investors who have used leverage, after experiencing a sharp drop, they fall into the predicament of sideways and gradual decline, and slowly they can't hold on. Because leveraged funds need to be repaid, the huge financial pressure will force them to cut their positions bit by bit at the bottom.
For the wealthy, they can choose a dollar-cost averaging strategy, but for those without money, the so-called dollar-cost averaging often becomes "fixed cutting." The worst is the long-term sideways movement: hope is ignited time and again, only to be extinguished again and again, until completely collapsing. Every night is on the edge of a mental explosion, and the doubts from family and friends are like the last straw, pressing you to the point of breathlessness, and finally, you choose to cut your position, thinking you have been relieved.
So, most people cut their positions at the lowest point. Do you think you are just cutting your chips? In fact, you are cutting your confidence, the fatigue from mental internal consumption, and the helplessness of not being able to hold on any longer. You may be able to withstand price fluctuations, but can you withstand the ruthless destruction of time?
Wide Range Vibration: A Lethal Move Specifically for "Diamond Hands"
Okay, some people might say, "My belief is strong enough, and my level of cognition is high enough; I will definitely hold on to my coins!" Are the major players afraid that you will hold on? No. They will specifically come with a big vibration to toss you around.
For example, ETH, suppose your cost is 1500? The major players first pull the price up to 4000, and you don't sell? Okay, then they砸 (smash) it down to 2000. You are still firmly holding? Then they pull it back up to 4000. At this point, some people can't help but start selling.
You are still unmoved?
Okay, the major players continue to砸 (smash), smashing until you start to doubt life. This kind of toss back and forth, you may indeed hold the coins, but your mental world may have already collapsed. In the end, you will find that you have experienced a whole round of bull and bear conversion, but you haven't made a cent and are ridiculed by the people around you, even your wife scolds you for being a fool. The most terrible thing is not the loss of money itself but the crazy internal consumption of time and the surrounding environment.
Informational Interference: Disrupting Your Thinking and Leaving You At a Loss
Finally, the major players will also play with the news to disrupt your mentality. Once the U.S. stock market crashes, the foundation sells coins, the exchange blows up, hackers steal coins, and other news appear, even if these news do not have a substantial bearish impact, as long as they can break your mentality, they have achieved their goal. The market is never something that can be explained purely by technical analysis; in the cryptocurrency market, it's all about human nature.
Can you really hold on to the end?
If you can really hold from the bottom to the high position, as steady as a rock, then the major players really have no way with you. But the key is, how many people can do this? Most people can't. I know the human nature in the market too well; many of you are destined to be tossed by the major players until your emotions are exhausted, and you finally cut your position. You may have cleared out at 4000, and as a result, ETH rose to 20,000, and then you chased in at a high position. This kind of story is constantly being staged in the cryptocurrency market.
Therefore, if we want to make a profit in the cryptocurrency market, we rely not on blindly "holding positions" but on cognition. You have to study your opponents in depth, understand the routines of the major players' chess moves, rather than just focusing on your next move. Only by seeing through the rules of the cryptocurrency market do you have the qualification to survive in this ruthless market to the end.
