#zec Brothers, let me tell you an old market rule. Those who have been in the circle for a long time basically agree that the declines you can see are mostly traps for short selling, while the declines you cannot see are the real killers.
Think about it carefully; during the day the market drops, and before 10 PM it declines, those are the obvious drops, intentionally made for you to see. The manipulators want everyone to see those red lines, making them anxious, nervous, and scared, so they cut their positions, and they conveniently take all the chips away.
Yesterday was the best example.
The market fell quite frighteningly during the day, but at 2 AM it immediately stopped falling. This is a standard washout, not a real hit.
But the real danger is the kind that you cannot see, the drops that come sneaking in the middle of the night.
Especially between 3 AM and 5 AM, that is simply classic spike time.
Why? Because most of Asia is asleep, while it is peak trading time in America.
They often play like this: at around 11 PM to 12 AM, they first pull up for a short while, making you think the market is taking off, and then you follow in. By the time you fall asleep, they slam down with full force, and the speed is absurd; when you wake up, your positions are already flat.
If you look back at the past spikes, most of them happened during this time.
It’s not a coincidence; they specifically choose this time to harvest.
So remember this rhythm: daytime declines = what you see, mostly washouts.
Midnight declines + spikes = real crashes, don’t randomly engage.
Understanding this rule can at least help you avoid many pitfalls.
