Sentiment shifted hard on social media lately—the crowd finally ditched those BTC doomsday scenarios. You know the ones: 70k dropping to 60k, then cratering to 40k. None of that materialized.

But here's the thing: this ain't finished. Market makers are still holding all the cards. They'll keep squeezing retail traders, run stops, shake out weak hands. The game's designed to make sure most people end up frustrated, exhausted, second-guessing every move.

That's how markets work at scale.

The shorts are shouting themselves hoarse, but nothing has happened. Now they're starting to buy the dip again haha Exactly, this is just the beginning, the big players aren't done yet It's the same old story, retail investors are always the leeks Feels like these words are always said every year... Is it true or not? Getting caught so many times and still daring to enter the market? Respect Whoever believes now is just being naive, it all depends on who can run faster Hey wait, what about the 40k order, why is it gone?

ngl this wave of sentiment reversal is a bit strange. Those bearish arguments are indeed gone, but just when I breathe a sigh of relief, it feels like I'm about to get cut again. This market’s tricks really never end...

I've been saying those doomsday prophecies are nonsense all along. Only now are you realizing it? --- If mm plays like this, retail investors will eventually be washed out. Nothing new. --- Wake up, everyone. The game rules are like this. If you don't want to get cut, don't participate. --- So the problem isn't the coin itself, but people's lack of confidence. It's too easy to be harvested. --- After hearing a bunch of 40k predictions, people just push back as if nothing's wrong. Truly incredible. --- That's why making money is hard and losing money is quick. mm is betting heavily on retail investors falling for this move.

Honestly, this wave of short-selling comments has indeed faded, but retail investors still have to be weeded out, never-ending. --- The prediction that 70k would crash to 40k has once again failed, and next time someone will still believe it. --- The market is just like this, ladies, if it's time to cut, cut; if we're going to be trapped, so be it; it's just a cycle. --- The underlying logic hasn't changed, RMM always wins, and we are always learning to be smarter. --- Another round of shakeouts and another round of losses, this script has become so old.

It's the same old story, retail investors will always be the victims --- I knew it would be like this, don't be fooled by the rebound --- Basically, the big players are playing us, endlessly --- It's always the same pattern, when will we be able to make money --- Wake up, the rules of the game are just like this --- The market is a meat grinder, we are all the meat --- It sounds very hopeless... but what can we do, we still have to play

Once again, we've been liquidated. Retail investors are just like that—only wake up when they get margin called.
