Today marks the 614th day of my posting activity, and I haven't missed a single day. Every post is not just casual but carefully prepared. [微笑] If you think I am a serious person, you can walk with me, and I hope the daily content can help you. The world is vast, and I am small. Follow me so you won't have trouble finding me. [微笑][微笑]
The characteristics of retail investors are:
They sell as soon as there's a slight rise, panic at the slightest dip, and lack unified expectations. Shakeouts are just stress tests: hit it hard to see who panics first. Shake sideways to see who lacks patience. Oscillate back and forth to see who has the worst mentality. When retail investors leave, trading volume decreases and volatility lightens. The big players then have a clear idea:
"Everyone who needs to leave has left; only then can the market rise cleanly."
So, one purpose of shakeouts is:
To clear out floating profits, trapped positions, and short-term funds,
so that the subsequent rise is truly the profit space belonging to the big players. The big players never fear that you understand the data; they fear that you follow the rhythm. That’s why they use oscillations, fake breakouts, and fake dips to shake out the watchers and leave the inactive ones behind.
