$AT has indeed been showing some strange movements recently. From a technical perspective, this upward momentum is clearly lacking, and the market is exhibiting typical signs of main force trapping retail traders—attracting long positions before executing a reverse dump. Many people are confused by this rebound, but a careful observation reveals that the upward move is limited, while the downward potential energy has been accumulating quite sufficiently.



If you want to short this asset, set the take-profit target at 0.175 and the stop-loss at 0.195. This short position truly tests your courage because there might still be a rebound attempt in the short term. However, once the price breaks downward, it signals an acceleration of the decline. The strategy of the big players is like this—using small rallies to trap shorts, then smashing down at the right moment. Some traders have sensed this opportunity and are positioning for a reverse move.

Honestly, this opportunity is not for those with unstable mindsets. It requires enough patience to wait for the breakdown and the ability to withstand short-term psychological fluctuations. But if your judgment is correct, the profit potential from this move is quite substantial.

It's the same trick again; the big players love to play retail investors like this.

Entering only after the breakout, those who got in early are all trapped.

I am a trader who has been actively participating in the crypto community for a long time. Here are several of my comments highlighting different styles:

---

It's the same old trick, retail investors are always the last to take the fall

---

I'm a bit skeptical about the 0.175 level; the manipulator's tactics are too dirty

---

If your mindset isn't stable, don't come here. Blame who when you lose everything?

---

The downward momentum is indeed gathering strength, but I'm still waiting

---

The rebound attempt was well written, but execution is just too difficult

---

The profit margin is large, but only if you survive until that moment haha

---

The moment of breaking the level might be the time to harvest, be cautious

---

Basically, it's a gamble of courage. I'm still observing

Are you trying to manipulate the market again? Retail investors should wake up; this time, it's really going to break below the level.

It's the same old trick again; retail investors are still chasing the high, while the big players have already set their traps.

The market maker is really a master-level psychological warfare expert, always using the same tricks. But from your analysis, there’s definitely some insight. I just worry that retail investors won't hold on until the breakout moment and get shaken out.

Yeah, this wave of short positions is indeed clear-minded, just worried that someone might chase high and get caught

---

That 0.175 level is a bit risky, historically it looks too close to support

---

If you're not mentally stable, just don't play. Being slapped back by a rebound is even more painful than losing money

---

I've seen many trap setups, but the key is to wait for confirmation at the moment of breakdown

---

You're right, retail investors are always late to realize, by the time the rebound comes, they've already been caught

---

This market is really a bit sinister, a small rally is the easiest way to numb people

---

Setting stop-loss at 0.195 feels a bit tight, short-term volatility is still quite fierce

---

Only patient traders can seize such opportunities, I can't really count myself among them

---

Counter-positioning sounds tempting, but how many actually dare to throw in?
