ZEC and BCH have recently performed strongly, but do you know the real driving force behind them?

The key lies in the new generation of mining machines that will be launched in Q1 next year. Mining hardware manufacturers naturally need to push the coin prices higher to sell new equipment — only then can they attract miners to buy. So the core logic behind this rally is actually very simple and straightforward: it’s driven by the mining machine sales cycle.

Those who analyze the value rebound of privacy coins or improvements in fundamentals? Honestly, at this point, it’s a bit too naive. What big funds truly care about are short-term arbitrage opportunities. Once this wave of new mining machines is sold out, the price will still have to fall when the cycle dictates.

However, in the short term, the market remains predominantly bullish. As long as the enthusiasm for new mining machines persists, funds will continue to push up the coin prices. But don’t expect too much in the long run — this is a typical cyclical hype.

It's the same old cycle of mining machine sales, the old routine. --- So, the rise and fall of the coin price are all decided by others, and we retail investors just watch the show. --- Wait, if the logic is really that simple, why are those institutions still losing money? --- I agree with the short-term bullish outlook, but don't be so absolute; there are too many variables. --- The story about mining machine manufacturers pushing the market... sounds convincing, but it's not that straightforward. --- The ZEC price increase of this magnitude being blown up as driven by the mining machine cycle is a bit of an overinterpretation. --- Alright, then I'll wait until Q1 to see the decline and verify whether this "pattern" is really a pattern. --- The reason used to fool retail investors into bottom fishing? Just listen and don't take it seriously. --- The hype around new mining machines is meaningless without data support. --- Tsk, here comes that story again about "big funds caring about arbitrage." The problem is, how do you know what they care about?

Haha, the idea of a mining machine sales cycle isn't new either, they just spin it every time. I've seen through it long ago—it's just the big players hyping up new concepts. It can be played in the short term, but don't really believe in the so-called fundamental return.

Ah, brother, I know this routine too well. The mining machine manufacturers are just playing this way. Basically, it's like harvesting crops. When new mining machines arrive, the coin price goes up; after selling out, it drops again. I've seen this cycle too many times. But in the short term, there might still be a wave. Anyway, if you don't believe in the fundamentals, this explanation is just right. If Q1 really sees the arrival of mining machines, then this wave of retail investors will be cut again.

Is it the same old story again, driven by mining machine cycles? Bro, your logic is full of holes. Do you really think big funds are that naive? Wait, can this logic hold water... By the way, can ZEC really last until Q1 this time? I'm a bit skeptical. Something's off, feels like the prelude to another round of cutting leeks.

Haha, this is hilarious. The mining machine manufacturers' tricks are really top-notch, just to pump the market and harvest the leeks. Wait, this logic has some substance. Should I chase or should I run? The crypto world is always the market makers putting on a show; we just watch the spectacle. Short-term excitement, long-term disaster—that's the cycle, brother. So fundamental analysis is just a joke; capital flow is the real boss. As soon as the mining machine hype fades, the market crashes immediately. I see through this trick. Another wave of leek harvest feast. Damn, I want to get on board again.

Oh my, it's the same old story again, the classic trick of mining machine manufacturers to cut leeks. The real puppeteer is the retail investors' FOMO mentality, okay? A new mining machine arrives and the coin price rises, retail investors go crazy and follow suit, then big players start to sell, completing the cycle. Arbitrage opportunities? Basically, some people make money while others lose. Waiting to see the big drop in Q2, brothers. --- This is a fragmented market, fundamentals are useless. --- Whether the market is bullish or bearish doesn't matter; anyway, I am among those who are steadily losing money. --- Do you believe it or not, the author of this article is also hoarding ZEC. --- So, should I buy now or not? I just can't figure it out. --- Cycle patterns, cycle patterns, I've been saying the same thing for ten years. --- I just want to know who that "big capital" is. I'm definitely not one of them, anyway.
