First post. And only because of my irritation towards $USUAL. I lost almost everything to this project after being super excited following massive gains. My stop loss failed, and I was hanging in there with the false belief that it would bounce back after the drop. I used to be a believer in the project, but I am sorry to say that after closely analyzing the price movements$$$$$$ and the order book, I’ve uncovered significant evidence of manipulation.
Here’s what I found:

1. Massive Buy and Sell Walls:
Large buy orders were placed to create artificial support and prevent the price from falling further. At the same time, huge sell orders were placed during downward price movements to ensure the price couldn’t rise. These walls weren’t static—they frequently shifted sides, making it clear they were being used to control the price direction.

2. Frequent Order Shifts:
Buy and sell orders of disproportionate size were moved back and forth in the order book, creating false signals for traders. This behavior consistently influenced the price to move sharply in the desired direction of the manipulator. For example, when the price approached resistance, large sell orders appeared to halt upward momentum, only to disappear once the price dropped.

3. Volume Manipulation:
The trading volume appears to be heavily manipulated to give a false sense of market activity and interest. This is likely being done through wash trading—where the same entity buys and sells to itself to inflate volume and lure unsuspecting traders into thinking the market is active.

4. Key Support Levels Breached:
kry support levels, were broken with no legitimate market reason. This triggered stop-loss orders and panic selling, wiping out smaller traders like myself. The sudden breaches were followed by quick rebounds, further evidence of deliberate manipulation.

5. RSI Spikes and Traps:
The RSI consistently hit overbought (above 90) or oversold (below 30) levels, only to reverse sharply. These traps seemed designed to lure traders into positions right before the price moved against them.

6. Sudden Price Swings Without Fundamental Justification:
The price experienced massive, unexplained swings, such as crashing from $0.57 to $0.39 within hours. These weren’t organic movements—they were orchestrated to manipulate market sentiment and profit from liquidations.

I am sorry to say, but this project seems to be built on tactics designed to prey on smaller traders and manipulate the market. The illusion of high demand or supply is carefully crafted to trick traders into poor decisions, while the actual price direction is dictated by a few large players.

If you’re considering trading $USUAL, I strongly advise extreme caution. Analyze the order book carefully, use wider stop losses to avoid being trapped, and watch for signs of false volume. For me, this has been a harsh lesson in how ruthless and manipulated the crypto market can be.
