The recent trend of Zcash has attracted a lot of attention. From a market perspective, the selling pressure of this coin is relatively mild, and with support from top global mining equipment manufacturers, the probability of breaking above 700 is not small.

The interesting part of the data is here—pushing the price to 700 requires the market maker to invest about 10 million. But if it triggers a wave of short positions being liquidated, the profit could multiply tenfold to 100 million. This explains why the market often oscillates around resistance levels, creating the illusion of a break that is hard to achieve. When short positions accumulate to a certain scale, it often signals a rapid upward move. This kind of market manipulation tactic has been seen many times in the crypto market, but someone always ends up getting caught in the trap.

Here we go again? 10 million to pump the price vs 100 million in profit. Why do I feel like I'm the one being harvested like a leek?

Is this another routine? 10 million pull-down vs 100 million liquidation. The calculations are so clear that the more I look at it, the more suspicious it seems. Does short accumulation necessarily lead to a rise? I feel like this theory is always used to trap retail investors. Does anyone seriously play with Zcash, or is it just a cash machine for the whales? The 700 level has been heard several times before, each time almost breaking through, but ultimately falling back. It feels a bit like bankruptcy. I don't deny the logic, but I can't beat their speed.

Coming back with this again? 10 million to pull the market down for 100 million profit sounds great, but when the time comes, will we retail investors still be able to get the chips?

It's the same old trick again, bears accumulating, a surge to push up, and the newbies will be crying for help again.

10 million pull-down vs 100 million profit, this calculation is really clear, no wonder it always gets stuck at the pressure level --- It's the same old trick, when the short positions pile up to the point of explosion, it's time to harvest. veterans all know this --- ZEC this wave is really interesting, the backing from mining machine manufacturers plus mild selling pressure, 700 seems really not a dream --- Every time they say they've seen this trick before, but still a bunch of people go short to catch the knives haha --- The repeated oscillation at the pressure level is right, it's just grinding time to accumulate chips --- 10 million cost for 100 million profit, if I were the market maker, I would do the same --- The data analysis of this ZEC wave is a bit insightful, but as always, those who know the tricks still end up losing money

It's the same old trick again, a bunch of shorts get piled up and then it starts to rise. Every time, someone gets trapped haha.
