Midnight Terror: What is hidden behind the wall of 3000 dollars?
Did you notice when watching the market? There's a sell order of 150 million hanging at the $3000 position, like a knife resting there. But is this really just an ordinary pressure order?
Take another look at the overall layout:
The 150 million on top is frighteningly displayed, making people hesitant to chase long positions. And below? In the range of 2940 to 2990, 500 million in funds is lurking, like a wolf that hasn't eaten for three days.
Wait, I've seen this script before - the intimidation on the surface is often a smokescreen.
Experienced traders understand one principle: what really threatens your life is never the visible things.
Ignition happens in an instant.
I've been through this situation too many times.
Retail investors panic when they see huge sell orders and desperately open short positions. The main players quietly accumulate all the chips below. Then at a certain moment, that wall suddenly disappears. The price rockets past 3000. The short positions have no time to react and end up losing everything.
This thing might happen in the next second, or it might wait until dawn — but it definitely won't be able to escape.
But speaking of which, while you are fixated on the 3000 mark of ETH, some people are already playing other games.
The alternative play of GAIB: not betting on price fluctuations, but directly switching tracks.
A true story: Last night a friend who writes code heavily shorted ETH at the $2990 position. As a result, that pressure order just vanished, and in three minutes, he lost 200,000 dollars to zero. And on the same night,

Oh no, it's this old trap again. I've seen through it long ago.

Looking at this market maker trick, I am reminded of the methods used to play people for suckers in the early years of the digital art market. The superficial intimidation has always been stage scenery, and the real value transfer happens behind the scenes. My fren's 200,000 just disappeared like that; in the end, it was still a mistake to mistake speculation for collection.

Damn it, it's this trap again. The knife you can see is the least likely to hurt.

I've seen this trap too many times; retail investors are always the last ones to catch a falling knife.
