$RIVER RIVER's chip distribution pattern deserves attention. The core address controls 69.84% of the circulating supply, and has been continuously adding 28.413 million tokens over the past three days. The top three holders collectively hold nearly 80% of the chips. This highly concentrated structure means that retail investors have almost zero pricing power — the price movement is entirely determined by large holders.

Looking at recent price performance makes it clear. From 23.877 down to 11.503, then quickly rebounding to 19.109, with a single-day increase of 17.89%. This V-shaped reversal pattern is very common: first smashing the price to shake out retail investors, then pushing it higher to attract new buyers, followed by repeated oscillations at high levels to harvest profits. Both long and short retail traders cannot escape this cycle.

Even more interesting is the 171.24% increase over 30 days — sounds crazy, but in reality, it’s a false rally created by chip monopoly. Large holders lock in positions to create a scarcity effect, while exploiting volatility to repeatedly harvest on-chain funds. This is not market competition; it’s a one-sided crushing under unequal capital sizes.
