The trend logic of RIVER is becoming increasingly clear. The market maker is employing a grinding tactic with a very clear goal: first gradually exhaust the shorts, then take the opportunity to trigger a short squeeze; subsequently, use a long needle to trap the longs and reap the second harvest. The key now depends on how greedy the longs are willing to be. For the shorts, the situation is quite passive—unless the stop-loss is set very high, it is almost impossible to avoid liquidation. No matter how large the position, under this grinding logic, funds can be repeatedly wiped out, ultimately losing everything. This kind of long-short confrontation pattern is often when retail investors are most likely to suffer heavy losses.
