There is no more typical kill-the-market textbook than $RAVE .
I suggest everyone take a look at its trading data changes to see how this coin, which only uses futures and is highly controlled by the big players, manages to keep the price stable with low-cost spot trading, then turns all the short sellers into fuel round after round.
$SIREN also kills shorts by small fluctuations in fee rates, but its open interest and number of short positions are far less exaggerated than RAVE.
I wonder if the recent $ARIA wave made the short sellers win too easily, leading to a situation where as soon as they see a coin on the gainers list, many rush in blindly to short.
Playing with big-player coins, the chances of winning are very small.
Whether it's lurking in coins with the lowest market cap or opening shorts in batches as soon as they start to rise, the expected returns are actually quite similar.
Before the big players switch, they can always continue to kill shorts at low cost.
But there is also a typical switching pattern: when several indicators appear simultaneously, it can be used to roughly judge whether the trend is about to change:
Continuous slow rise, but open interest keeps decreasing
Suddenly, a spike upward, with open interest collapsing sharply
What does this mean?
It indicates that active buying is rare, but a large number of shorts are being liquidated in a chain reaction, and the big players are taking the opportunity to close longs while accumulating shorts.
This is when a trend reversal might begin.
After switching, there can also be sharp fluctuations within a day, with drops of dozens of points followed by rises of hundreds of points.
Of course, no method can predict a crash with 100% certainty in advance.
Otherwise, who would the dog whales be making money from? #Gate广场四月发帖挑战
