I rarely talk about knockoffs, but today let's discuss $RAVE (my personal opinion). The trend has been insanely crazy, going from just a few cents to over $9, completely following the classic pattern of highly controlled air coins in the crypto space. Many similar coins in history have played out this way. Just like SIREN, MYX before, where the chips are highly concentrated in the hands of the manipulators, with very light circulating supply, allowing them to push the price as high as they want, with no regard for fundamentals or technical pullback logic.

Many people halfway through think the rise is too much, goes against common sense, and keep trying to top out and short, but all get mercilessly liquidated by the manipulators. For coins with such high control, the manipulators just push the price up without limits, deliberately harvesting against human nature. The more you short, the more they push, aiming to clear out all the shorts. Looking at the current market, it’s obvious that the manipulators and big players are fighting each other, with chips highly locked in. There’s little selling pressure during declines; even slight buying can push the price up. The trend doesn’t seem to have reached its end.

Many people short simply because they believe air coins will eventually go to zero or that after a big rise, a correction is due, hoping to bet on a small pullback. But at this stage, fighting against such a strong trend and high-controlled coin is really just handing over your head. History shows that once such coins start their main upward wave, they often surpass everyone’s expectations—$15, $20 is not out of reach. Instead of fighting against the trend and giving away money, it’s better to ride the wave with the manipulators. In the short term, following the trend with longs has a much higher win rate and risk-reward ratio than shorting. When volume truly increases and chips loosen, then we can consider going short.
