How can retail investors avoid being completely exploited by the market manipulators? First, engrain this in your mind: rapid surges happen in the blink of an eye, while withdrawals are slow as a snail.
Let's look at how most projects operate. Pumping the price? Done in two weeks. Dumping? They can drag it out for two or three months.
These are the common tactics. First, a quick rally, then a flood of good news and hype everywhere. Those who haven't jumped in get caught up in the excitement, see a pullback, think "Wow, an opportunity," grit their teeth and rush in—only to be caught right at the top.
Next comes the market maker’s showtime. Coins like $TAKE, $LYN often oscillate at high levels—either crashing down or tormenting you, making you lose your sanity amid the repeated ups and downs.
So the core question is—when is the right time to sell? The answer is simple: **Get out when there are the most people**.
In the group, everyone’s arguing loudly, shouting that the bull market is here, and you’re already calculating your doubled profits... Usually, that’s exactly when the market manipulators quietly start to exit. Coins like #美联储FOMC会议 have long proven this.
To put it bluntly, missing the sell isn’t a big deal; earning a little less doesn’t matter. The key is to develop this habit—once you can decisively leave amid the chaos, it becomes very hard to be fully exploited again.
The crypto world is never short of new opportunities. What’s truly scarce are those who dare to turn around and walk away when the crowd is roaring.

Another truth that only becomes clear after being cut: I wish I had known earlier. To be honest, truly those who can step away from the frenzy are few and far between.
When the false fire is too intense, it's time to run. I've heard this many times, but only a few actually do it.

Oh my, really, as soon as I join the group it's all "bull market, bull market," just hearing this makes me want to run away
---
So, it’s better to do the opposite; when everyone is hyping it up the most, that’s actually the most dangerous
---
I can accept selling early, but I’m really afraid of getting worn out by the repeated fluctuations here, it’s truly despairing
---
I’ve heard this theory countless times, but how many people actually follow through, including myself
---
The hard part is resisting; seeing everyone in the group shouting, and my hands get itchy
---
Early entrants are all sharp players; as much as I want to think so, I still end up taking a hit

Wake up, it's time to cut again. Those who ran early are counting their money, while those still hesitating are cutting their losses.
---
Everyone has seen this trick before, but the real question is, can you really resist chasing the high?
---
I saw with my own eyes that $RIVER dropped from heaven to hell. When the group was still shouting buy, I had already liquidated. Not much profit, but just staying alive is enough.
---
The hardest part is never finding good coins, but having the courage to sell.
---
According to this logic, the most profitable are those who don't touch it at all. I believe it.
---
Two weeks of pumping and three months of dumping, ears are already calloused from listening, but my hands still itch.
---
The most people have ever gotten off is when the price is at its peak. It's easy to say, but actually doing it can really kill you. I just ask, who can resist not checking their earnings?
---
The truth about the crypto world is laid bare like this, yet there are still a bunch of people losing money. It's hopeless.
---
The key is not knowing whether it's good news or the last wave of hype before dumping. That's the most painful part.
---
In short, it's about mentality. Those who can run during the chaos have already made a living in the crypto world.

It's the same pattern again—rising for two weeks, then dumping for two months. I'm the one who was taught this move the hardest... At that time, $TAKE was in my hand, watching high-level volatility unfold, and in the end, I couldn't escape.

Here we go again. This theory is discussed year after year, month after month, but no one can truly implement it.

Really, I've seen too many people jump in at the peak in the group, only to disappear afterward.

Exactly right, just do the opposite. When there are many people, slip away quietly and don't follow the crowd shouting about a bull market.
