Want to profit from ICOs? Many people overlook this trick: don't rush to enter the market. The real opportunity often comes after the TGE launches—there's almost always a wave of retracement.

Take RNGR as an example. You invest $1,000 during the ICO phase and seem to get about $80 worth of tokens. Sounds good? But here's the problem: on the day of the TGE or in the following days, the token usually plunges. Instead of being driven by FOMO, it's better to stay calm and wait for that retracement to strike. Buying when the price is halved is much more cost-effective than chasing at a high. This is the game that seasoned ICO players have been playing all along.

This strategy is not wrong, but I think the real difficulty is being able to resist chasing the high. Most people simply cannot stay calm and wait patiently for that sharp decline.

Here comes another lesson on how to manipulate people into trading cryptocurrencies. It sounds easy to say, but how many people can actually wait for a pullback before entering? Most still fall into FOMO and jump in.

Based on on-chain data analysis, the price fluctuation during the period from ICO to TGE generally ranges between 40% and 60%. Notably, ... most retail investors happen to have taken the wrong side. In simple terms, it's just waiting for the wedge to be cut and then getting back on the train. This is a well-known strategy. According to historical cases, the RNGR correction indeed exhibits typical characteristics of unlocking pressure release—it's better to stay calm and wait rather than FOMO and get caught.

This strategy, to put it simply, is about playing the time difference, but the key is—having enough liquidity data to support your judgment. Waiting for a pullback alone is not enough; you need to accurately grasp the stability of the nodes and the strength of consensus, otherwise you're gambling on luck. The RNGR case seems simple, but in reality, it involves a game of verifying efficiency and network reliability, and most people haven't really understood the underlying mechanism.

Haha, you're right. I've experienced this myself. During the ICO, I rushed in excitedly, and as soon as TGE launched, I immediately dumped. The feeling was incredible.

Hmm... It's the same old story. During the ICO phase, everyone who gets in is just a bagholder, right? Everyone knows about the pullback at TGE, but the key is whether you can hold on to the bottom.
