The main force cost line of ETH is at $1580. Hearing people say that $3300 is a low point just makes me want to laugh. Those friends shouting about a low point probably haven't experienced a real bear market. Some also say this cycle is different. I thought the same in 2021, but in 2022 I lost everything—earning 15 million and then forcefully giving back 12 million. Now I understand that institutions will never tell retail investors to jump in and make money together; that's a pipe dream.

In 2022, when Bitcoin dropped to $18,000, mainstream media was everywhere claiming it would fall below $10,000. During the 2025 trade war, on-chain liquidations of ETH occurred, and when the price broke below $2000, the same routine repeated—they shouted about old OGs starting to dump, targeting $800, as if everything was under control.

After experiencing these, I no longer believe any media statements. I only watch how the candlesticks move, what the trading volume is saying, and where the main force cost is. These are the true market languages; they can't deceive people.

Really, anyone who calls the bottom at 3300 hasn't been hit, see you at 1580. Lost 12 million and finally learned not to listen to the media, the cost was too high, brother. The institutional trick of cutting leeks is just the same old story, no change in the method. Candlestick charts and trading volume are the real truth, everything else is nonsense. The repeated scripts of 2022's "must fall by 10,000" and 2025's "look at 800" are really laughable. Don't trust the media's set, watching the order book is the most reliable. Those who have experienced it understand, those who haven't, keep being leeks.

15 million returns 12 million, now that's truly having taken a course, much better than those armchair strategists. --- The media only talk about reverse indicators, I have deep experience with this. Watching K-line and cost line is the real way. --- From 1580 to 3300, still dare to say it's a low point? Laughable. These people have never been hit hard in 2022. --- Institutions and retail investors are always opponents. Don't be naive, brother. --- Anyone still trusting the media now is somewhat naive. --- Trading volume and K-line trends really can't deceive people. This is my final belief. --- Only after experiencing one or two stop-losses can you understand. It's too hard to grasp this market without losing out. --- Calling for below 10,000 when it's 18,000, and now it's the same script again. These people really know how to reuse their tricks.

1580 is the real support line, who still dares to call for a bottom at 3300? Wake up, everyone. --- In 2021, I also believed "this time is different," but in 2022, I was directly beaten down. --- I stopped listening to the media's rhetoric long ago; I only look at the charts. --- Losing 12 million makes me realize that institutions will never lead us; now I only trust the K-line. --- If it drops below 2000, still looking at 800? The same old trick, used repeatedly. --- The cost line is right there; it can't fool my eyes. --- Anyone who has experienced a bear market knows that the words "low point" are the biggest deception.

15 million paid back 12 million, how confident must that be? I just don't have the ability to make that much, haha --- The main force cost line is the key, everything else is just auditory illusion --- "This cycle is different," they say every cycle, and every cycle ends the same with cuts --- Chip distribution is crystal clear, much more reliable than those "professional analysts" --- Once you see through it, it's no longer interesting, but not making money is even more pointless --- K-line won't lie, I just can't understand it myself --- The tricks of institutions and media, after playing for so many years, I still can't defend against them --- I trust you, but I still listen to their wild calls, then regret it --- Back when it was $800, I didn't dare to buy the dip, now I regret it to death --- You're right, but next time the market comes, I'll get in again, no choice

Hearing you say that, the part about 15 million being returned from 12 million really hits hard. But for those at the low point of 3300, they should really look at the cost line. This trick that institutions keep pulling has been played out for a long time, and we're still there buying in. Just look at the candlestick charts and trading volume; the media comments can just be taken as jokes.

1580 real cost line, and there are still people shouting 3300 at the low point, hilarious The part where I made 15 million and then吐回12 million was too heartbreaking, this is the fate of retail investors Don't believe in different cycles, I thought the same in 21 Look at the K-line and trading volume, everything else is nonsense Institutions will never lead retail investors to play, what are they thinking I'm really tired of the media's tricks, it's always the same over and over again 800 to see the bottom line? Ha, just wait and see

15 million paid back 12 million, this guy really has been through it. I’ve been saying where does the confidence to call a low at 3300 come from. --- The tricks played by institutional media for so many years, and some still believe them. I truly am amazed. --- Watching candlestick charts and trading volume is a hundred times better than listening to stories, but unfortunately most people just love to hear stories. --- In 2022, I was also involved in that wave. Now I see the tricks clearly—whatever they call out, we just do the opposite. --- From 1580 to 3300, how many dreams of the little guys are between? Sigh. --- The survival rule in a bear market is so simple, but why do some people only realize after being wiped out once? --- This guy is right, on-chain data is the real truth, media is just a story-telling machine. --- After so many years, my biggest takeaway is learning not to trust, haha. --- I also saw that chain liquidation wave. Saying $800 is ridiculous, but some people just believe it. --- The main force cost is the true standard for measuring everything; everything else is just a smokescreen.

The 12 million being dumped really killed me, this is the so-called "this cycle is different" price to pay The media's usual rhetoric should really be thrown in the trash, the K-line is the real truth Is 3300 still low? Laughable, the main force's cost is already at 1580 Honestly, if you didn't experience the 2022 cycle, you wouldn't understand what a bear market really is Institutional media's one-liner is "Get on board quickly"? Purely deceiving retail investors into taking the fall That wave around 800 is happening again, the套路 is exactly the same, but smart people won't fall for it again Trading volume and K-line trends are lying, the media's mouth is lying every day
