The images only show part of it, there are quite a few actions, so I won't showcase them all. I have found that whether it's crashing the market or boosting it, large institutions and major market makers, as well as exchanges, basically stand together; they all know the situation, while us retail investors are left in the dark. So the only advantage retail investors have in the institutional era is time; we can choose not to act and wait. However, institutions, exchanges, and market makers must create market conditions. But as retail investors, we all want to make quick money, and very few have the patience to wait. It's not uncommon for retail investors to struggle; haha. Starting tomorrow, I'll begin a tutorial on how to earn easily, using methods to get something for nothing. Those who want to learn can start, but I've mentioned before that the duration for earning this way is long, tedious, and the returns are unstable; the only advantage is that it's free. If you want to learn, feel free to follow along.

With today's continuous decline,
current stop-loss positions include bat link aave sol
Additions include btc bnb hype pump
btc is a passive order, receiving orders from 8w8 8w6 8w1 7w8 along the way.
trx currently has limited decline, neither added nor reduced.
These few coins are ones I am optimistic about in the long run, so I can hold on to them.
Then, to mention that before today's decline, I actually started monitoring the exchange addresses and several market makers like wintermute, which began to show activity.
wintermute started transferring large amounts of btc eth sol and approximately equivalent stablecoins to Binance and Coinbase.
At first, I thought it was going to be a small-scale up and down double kill, taking advantage of the weekend's lack of liquidity for arbitrage operations. I even tried to follow the operations and make a few short trades, but I ended up hitting three stop-losses and became more cautious. After all, things don't go well after three times.
Afterwards, I researched a lot and realized how difficult it is to keep up with the operations,
market makers have millimeter-level operations, massive funds, direct connections to the exchange's servers, complex algorithms, early warning and counter-warning mechanisms (yes, they counter players like me who monitor important address activities), and even cooperate with institutions, receiving institutional orders, and there should also be a certain connection with the exchanges. And I have two hands and a computer, what can I use to compete with them 😂
Then there was Binance's wallet frequently adjusting large amounts before the market crashed, at that time I wasn't sure what it was, but after analysis, it should have been an early warning (I can't determine if it was an algorithm warning or if there was news, and I don't want to guess wildly), to prevent another situation like the one on 10.11 where there were liquidation issues.
The entire two-hour process of scheming was actually very exhausting and even resulted in losses.
In summary, I have realized that retail investors cannot compete with institutions. I have completely given up on short-term trading and focused on holding long-term coins that I can manage, building positions in batches.
The actual leverage does not exceed 1x. As for why not hold spot, isn't the margin freed up to earn some interest? 😅
Short-term trading is simply not viable. I plan to continue with my old profession from a few years ago—haircutting, currently operating with profits earned from this bull market; the principal is no longer in the circle, unless it falls to my target position, otherwise it's impossible to come back in, haha.
That's all, wish everyone good luck!
