Why does the market often start moving in the direction you expected only after your stop-loss has been triggered?
This is the next movement of Ethereum: first, a false short, creating panic, forcing funds to pour in rapidly at low levels; then, a quick surge, reaching the stop-loss zone of the bears, wiping out their positions completely. Immediately after, the market begins to pull back, pretending to adjust, constructing an illusion of a bullish trap, luring the bulls to a 'sure win' high point. Ultimately, an unexpected sharp drop occurs, completing a counterattack on the market, leaving chaos and shock in its wake.
The essence of the market is anti-human nature. You think you are conversing with the trend, but you are merely contributing to the fund pool for the manipulators. Break through the previous high, pull back to go long; break below the previous low, bounce back to go short; the stop-loss point lands precisely where 'common sense' tells you it should be, and all of this has long been calculated by the market with meticulous precision.
Most of the time, the market only moves in your expected direction after your stop-loss has been triggered. Why? Because your judgment aligns perfectly with the logic of countless retail investors. The aesthetics of the market lie in acting contrary to this consensus, achieving its intentions in ways that are unexpected.
Every line drawn by the manipulators, every range constructed, is an artistic layout. My prediction for Ethereum is merely an attempt to stand on the other side of this chess game, to see clearly the pre-set temptations and killing opportunities. The direction has never changed; the only thing that changes is who will become the victim in this game.
