#大户持仓动态 Recently, many people have been debating the timing of bottom-fishing, and I want to discuss the logic behind it.



Carefully observing this wave of market movements, you'll notice a pattern: institutions first induce a false breakout to create panic → drive the market up to absorb liquidity → sweep out losses and distribute. The retail investors who chase in the middle are basically becoming "fuel" for liquidity. Before the interest rate hike cycle truly takes effect, arbitrage institutions will definitely sell at high levels, so they will give the bulls hope, create the illusion of a rebound, and let the trend followers take the bait, each time trapping a wave of positions. This is how they smoothly transfer their holdings.

You ask me if now is a good time to bottom-fish? My advice is: don't act until the rate hike clearly starts to decline. Keep your hands steady and protect your principal—this is more important than anything else. The market has experienced a bloodbath, and many are caught in positions, but the more confused you are, the easier it is to act impulsively. Instead of waiting for a "Hail Mary" turnaround, it's better to study the institutions' rhythm carefully.

Holding onto the principal is the key; don't be fooled by the illusion of a Rebound.

You're right, retail investors are the ones providing liquidity to institutions. Those who see through this trick and still dare to go all in are really few.

I have long since demonstrated this logic of false breakout → manipulation → distribution, and on-chain data shows that the abnormal fluctuations when institutions establish short positions in batches at high levels are sufficient proof. It should be pointed out that the fatal mistake most people make is understanding liquidity traps with fiat currency thinking—undoubtedly, this is the most common cognitive fallacy since 2017. Your principal is your faith; going all-in makes you either a gambler or a money-giving fairy.

That's right, retail investors are always the ones getting cut. The last time I saw a rebound, I impulsively jumped in, and now I'm trapped again, damn it.

Institutions are really good at playing this game; retail investors are just like leeks.

You're trying to fool people into buying the dip again, wake up everyone.

Now waiting equals suicide, the institutions are just waiting for us to fall for it, really.

ngl, the liquidity trap thesis checks out but you're still missing the macro picture... whales don't care about your "timing," they care about *your panic*

It's the same old story; retail investors are always the last ones to take the fall.
