#A 90% Retail investors can't get big profits in a bull run? The 3 holdings strategies that market makers fear the most, understand them to avoid being washed out 3 times.

The bloody reality:
I once bought SOL at $0.3, but I panicked and ran away at $1; later it surged to $20.
You bought ETH at $1800, but got shaken out by the washout at $2400, watching it break $4000.
Now staring at the new high of the K-line, yet the account is empty — this is not bad luck, but falling into the market maker's "wash trading trap."
Market makers harvest the three-piece set: every panic of retail investors is part of their scheme.
1. Fake spike: using a sudden drop to breach your stop loss line
During a certain market cycle, BTC suddenly dropped from 30,000 to 28,000 dollars, and within 3 minutes, it was pulled back above 30,000 dollars. The group was filled with wails, as someone was liquidated at the stop-loss level of 28,500 dollars, while the market maker took advantage of this "false spike" to scoop up 2,000 BTC worth of bloodied chips.
Principle: Retail investors always set their stop-loss orders at "round numbers" and "previous lows". Market makers use large funds to instantly smash the market, triggering stop-loss orders and then immediately pull back, both washing the market and not losing chips.
2. Low-volume dumping: using a small amount of chips to scare off panic selling.
I have seen a certain altcoin drop from $5 to $4, but the trading volume was only 1/3 of usual. Some people panic and cut their losses, but they don't realize — the chips driving the sell-off are pitifully few, the market maker is just "putting on a show."
Principle: A massive sell-off without volume is like a "paper tiger"; not many people are actually selling, but it can make retail investors mistakenly believe that the "market makers are running away," obediently handing over their holdings.
3. Long-term sideways movement: wearing down your patience with boredom.
SOL was stuck in a sideways range of 8-10 dollars for 45 days, with daily fluctuations not exceeding 3%. In the group, it went from "hold firmly" to being called "garbage coin," and eventually, someone couldn't resist taking big profits and swapped coins, only to see it rise to 15 dollars just 3 days after they sold.
Principle: Market makers fear "patient retail investors" the most. Sideways movement is meant to wear down your patience, causing you to change vehicles before the main upward trend.
The Way to Break the Game: The 3 Holdings Mindsets That the Market Makers Hate the Most, Follow Them to Fully Enjoy the Main Bull Run
1. Pyramid adding position method: keep the base position unchanged, roll over profits
Core: Use the base position to lock in the trend, use additional positions to profit from fluctuations, and never sell before the start.
Operation Steps:
Base position 30% (for example, 3000U principal, 1000U to buy ETH), stop loss only if it drops below the weekly MA30, otherwise hold firm and do not sell;
Every time a key level is broken (for example, ETH from 2000→2500→3000 dollars), increase the position by 20% (add 600U each time);
Withdraw the principal (1000U) once profits exceed 50%, and continue to bet on the trend with the remaining profits, even if it drops, you won't lose the principal.
Last year, I used this trick with DOT, starting with a base position of 1000U. After three rounds of increasing my position, the total reached 3000U, and I ultimately made a profit of 12,000U—without touching the base position, it all relied on the profits from adding to my position.
2. Trend Anchoring Technique: Use "Iron Indicators" to Counter Emotional Fluctuations
Core: Don't trust feelings, trust data, let the indicators make decisions for you.
My anchoring standard:
If the weekly MA30 does not break, just hold on (MA30 is the dividing line between bulls and bears; only breaking it indicates a change in trend);
The monthly closing price hitting a new high must be held (a new high at the monthly level, not something a retail investor can push up);
The on-chain whale addresses have not reduced their positions, so don't be in a hurry to sell (open on-chain tools to check if the top 10 holdings addresses have changed; if they haven't, don't rush to sell).
In a certain bull run, I bought BNB, and the weekly chart has consistently stayed above the MA30. The whale addresses have not reduced their holdings. I went from 300 dollars to 500 dollars, and I didn’t move during the 3 times of market washing - this is what "indicators are more reliable than emotions" means.
3. Counter-intuitive execution: When others are in panic, you should do these two things.
Core: Market makers wash the market to force you to "chase the rise and kill the fall"; doing the opposite can break the situation.
When a false pin appears: look at the 5-minute trading volume. If there is a rapid increase in volume followed by a quick decrease, it is false, don't cut your losses;
When the market is boring and stagnant: set a "forgetting alarm" to check the market only once a week, and don't be influenced by intraday fluctuations;
During a massive sell-off: open the order book and check if the buy orders below are dense. If there are many buy orders, it indicates a washout, and you can consider adding to your position slightly.
What should I do with my holdings now? Look at these 3 signals, don't get left behind midway.
Bitcoin: Not yet breaking the historical high, still on the slope, do not change the base position, can add holdings when it retraces to around the weekly MA30.
Ethereum: Just broke the stage's new high, at the beginning of a main rising wave, use the pyramid adding position method, add a little each time there is a 5% pullback;
Altcoins: The average increase is only 3 times, far from the crazy stage (when it’s crazy, the group will be full of slogans like "hundred times coins"), and the whales are patiently waiting without unloading.
Remember: In a bull run, the biggest enemy of retail investors is not the market maker, but their own "itchy hands" and "nervousness". If you can't hold onto your bottom position, no matter how good the market is, it will be in vain.
