The recent rally looks lively, but a closer look at the market reveals the underlying issues. Although there has been some news-driven excitement, this upward movement hasn't been truly supported by additional capital, and trading volume hasn't effectively increased. The rally appears weak and lackluster. From this perspective, the short-term outlook should still maintain a bearish mindset, with particular attention to the performance around the 0.1 level.

Looking at the distribution of chips, large investors are holding a significant amount of old positions. To view it from another angle—if you were the main force, it wouldn't be cost-effective to directly dump the market when the market cap is already so high. Doing so would damage market confidence and could easily lead to criticism for "cutting leeks." Instead of going hard, it's better to use sustained oscillations to shake out short-term holders, gradually guiding market sentiment downward. This "using time to gain space" strategy may seem slow, but it is actually the most damaging.

The upcoming market is likely to follow this script: repeated fluctuations up and down, attempting to shake out weak hands while discouraging bullish enthusiasm. Therefore, the most important thing is to stay calm and not be fooled by short-term rebounds. Never let emotions drive your decisions; rationality and patience are key to survival.

Here comes another "weak and powerless rally." I said that insufficient volume is just false fire. If the 0.1 level can't be broken, just admit defeat. Don't drag it out. The main force's game of shaking out traders is really clever. Slowly wearing down your mentality is much smarter than directly smashing the market. I'm currently one of the most annoyed people being shaken out. Basically, it's just waiting—waiting until all the floating chips are shaken out. Whoever panics first loses. Is this rebound happening again? Don't believe it. Just stay short and wait for it to be over. Rises without volume-price support are all traps. A bloody lesson, everyone. The concentration of chips in big players' hands has been obvious for a long time. It's just a slow-cutting game.

Here comes another act of "exchanging time for space." I’ve been saying that the main force’s script for shaking out traders is really damn clever... The trading volume doesn’t even cooperate, which is just ridiculous. --- In theory, we should be able to hold out, but in practice, we end up locking ourselves in. --- Repeated fluctuations up and down are indeed a brilliant move. It wears down willpower a hundred times more than directly smashing the market. Let me try this smart trap first... --- The 0.1 line is the key; if it can’t break through, keep looking bearish. This contract is a bit interesting. --- Don’t be led by emotions; it’s easy to say but really funny to do... Every rebound makes you want to buy the dip, it’s a professional disease. --- The main force’s tactics are truly clever, much more "civilized" than directly chopping the leeks. It’s like maximum academic value but minimum practical value. --- Floating positions must keep shaking, bulls must keep grinding, and Lu Ban No.7 is working again.

Oh my, it's the same old trick of "using time to exchange for space." Do the major players really think retail investors are fools? With such a pathetic trading volume, they still have the nerve to push? Just bluffing. I just want to know if 0.1 will break or not, otherwise don't bother me. Shakeout, shakeout, the same old routine, just wait and see. Repeated ups and downs? Then let's just keep cutting losses repeatedly, no problem. The key is to stay calm and not be driven by emotions, easy to say. This round really feels like there's no real money coming in, a bit uncertain.

Damn, it's the same old trick of shaking out the weak hands. Are the big players really treating us like fools? They don't increase the volume but still dare to push up, purely to deceive the retail investors and make a quick kill. This 0.1 must be held firmly, or everything will be ruined. The main players just love to drag things out, repeatedly messing around until your mentality collapses. Don't get carried away by the rebound; wait patiently for the signals. Volume doesn't lie; without increased trading, there is no tomorrow. Let's wait and see, no need to rush.

Trading volume hasn't increased, and you're still celebrating. Are the main players boiling the frog in warm water? Let's wait and see if 0.1 can hold. Anyway, I'm not chasing this wave. It's both a shakeout and a grind, in plain terms, it still has to fall. This is the real destructive power; time is more ruthless than dumping. A rebound is a trap, don't be fooled, brothers. The main players hold so many old chips, they definitely need to sell them slowly. Why the rush? Staying calm is really important; emotions are the biggest enemy.

Damn, it's the same old manipulation script again. Are the big players really treating us like fools? Haha They boast about such poor trading volume. I think this is just a useless rebound. Holding large chips in their hands is indeed impressive. Wasting time like this is the most unethical move. We're about to break 0.1 again. When will this day end? Don't be fooled by the rebound. Stay calm, stay calm. This is the right approach.
