Seeing Through the Market Makers' Tricks: Will ZEC Drop as Expected, Have You Sold Yet?

I already warned in my article yesterday that ZEC was going to fall. Sure enough, today it did.

Sometimes, if you watch a coin long enough, you can really sense the underlying "momentum." It's not mysticism, it's rhythm. Over the past couple of days, despite positive news from institutions—Bitwise applying for an ETF, Cypherpunk still increasing positions, and the privacy coin story ongoing—market sentiment should be relatively optimistic.

But what about the price? It slid from 533 down to around 500, with clear net capital outflows, and technical indicators already turning downward. It’s obvious: good news isn’t meant for you to rush in, but for those who have been lurking to unload their positions.

I often say, don’t just look at the surface excitement of news. Market makers love to dump on good news, especially when they wear the "institutional entry" and "strong narrative" hats. Many people think it’s safe to buy in, but once they do, they find that the price isn’t following the news—instead, it starts to decline quietly.

Look at ZEC’s chart: it rose quite a bit earlier, but now it’s clearly losing momentum. MACD is still above zero, but the energy is waning, and volume is shrinking. At this point, anyone still dreaming of a big rally is likely to get caught.

The crypto market is like this—you need to think one step ahead. Market expectations often lead the price. When everyone knows about that "good news," it’s usually the peak of the phase. The article I wrote yesterday was a warning that the "sell" atmosphere was forming.

So, it’s time to sell when you should. Don’t fall in love with the market, and don’t compete with the market makers’ patience. They craft charts and tell stories, ultimately just to harvest your positions. What you can do is exit before they close their trap. $ZEC ‌#我的2026第一条帖
