Recently operated a swing trade, with some gains. I didn't catch the order from yesterday, but I wasn't too disappointed; the current price level is a bit high, and the betting is too obvious.

Observing this target, with an average theme plus strong main force manipulation, I don't dare to rush into this kind of combination. Usually, in such situations, the purpose of the big players is nothing more than two: either to continue pushing higher to accumulate shares or to directly harvest. Entering a market without strong sentiment is just being taken as a bagholder. Comparing it with similar projects on SOL, their performance is quite disappointing, indicating that the current sentiment isn't strong enough.

Looking back, moderate themes combined with manipulative players don't necessarily have a higher win rate than Macau baccarat, so it's better to step back respectfully. The hardest part of trading isn't making quick money, but knowing when to sit on the sidelines.

This wave of sentiment isn't quite hot enough; even SOL is freezing cold over there.

I absorbed this part of your message; not taking over is wisdom.

This guy's insight really hit me. Sitting on the sidelines is indeed harder than chasing the high.

I have to give you a thumbs up for this stance, really. Not many people know how to avoid pitfalls.

Knowing the OTC market well, I am more afraid of taking over than chasing highs. --- This is how the market maker game works; the gambling nature is too strong. It's better to wait for the next one. --- Hey, your judgment this time is quite clear-headed. SOL is also breaking down, so there's really no emotional attachment. --- Respectfully, this phrase should be engraved in your mind. --- Why does it feel like now all projects are played by market makers? How can retail investors still make money? --- Not catching the opportunity turned out to be a blessing, saving me from taking over. --- Really, knowing when not to move is even harder than knowing when to act. --- A moderate theme combined with manipulation—this combo I really won't touch; I can't afford to gamble.

This guy is right, if you're not emotionally prepared, don't force it. You'll understand after getting cut once. --- I've seen through the dealer's tricks long ago; I don't want to be a bagholder. --- Sitting on the sidelines is winning; this realization is valuable. --- If SOL also collapses, it definitely signals something wrong. I agree with a nod. --- Knowing when not to move is a hundred times better than messing around inside every day. --- There's a saying: surviving is even harder than winning money. --- I've encountered this kind of situation too. Choosing to lie flat actually earns more, strange but true. --- The combination of average themes plus manipulation by the dealer is truly a minefield; smart people avoid it. --- Bets with too much gambling instinct are easy to spot. Goodbye then. --- Holding an empty position is also a form of operation; it's more comfortable than being trapped. --- If your win rate can't match baccarat, then I might as well go gamble.

This guy has good intuition and knows when to hide. What I fear most are also these—average themes with aggressive investors, just a trap to offload positions.
