or why the winners in the crypto market are not the smartest, but the most cold-blooded
If you think that the market is driven by 'news', 'analysis', and 'the crowd's emotions', then... partially yes.
But the real conductor of this mad orchestra is the market maker.
And the longer I am in crypto, the clearer I see:
the market is a game where the big player presses the buttons, and the crowd only reacts.
🎯
1. Scenario one: create fear and take the coins
The market maker needs a lot of liquidity at a low price.
What does the crowd do when it sees a candle down? Panic → sales.
What does the market maker do?
Calmly collecting those coins that you sell in fear.
It's like a ritual: hit — fear — dump — position setup.
And yes, at that moment I most often buy. I feel these games already at an intuitive level.

2. Scenario two: heat up the crowd and sell higher
When a large player has accumulated volumes, another part of the show starts.
News becomes positive, analysts suddenly 'see growth', and X is filled with 'moons' charts.
And that's it — the crowd rushes to buy.
The market maker thanks for the liquidity and gradually unloads the position.
🧠
3. What does it look like from the inside?
Here are some classic techniques:
🔸 Fake breakout — false breakout upwards to lure buyers, then a sharp dump.
🔸 Stop-hunt — they take out stops below the level to grab liquidity.
🔸 Deep wick down — to take out leveraged traders, while large players accumulate position.
🔸 News manipulation — the necessary 'inflation' of information exactly at the moment it's profitable.
And the funniest thing is — all this happens every day.
Just most people don't notice.

4. Why am I writing about this?
Because if you want to survive in crypto, you need to learn not to react like the crowd.
If they shout 'panic!' — I breathe evenly and buy up.
If they shout 'rocket!' — I focus and look at the chart soberly.
The crypto market is not just about the economy. It's psychology, mathematics, and a bit of theater.
And the one who understands these mind games wins.
