I've been monitoring the trend of a certain altcoin $LIGHT for the past few days and noticed a clear pattern: there is always a concentrated dumping happening between 4-5 AM, almost perfectly timed during the Asian market's sleeping hours. This phenomenon is particularly common among contract coins.



Last week, there was a case that left a deep impression: a trader achieved a return of 2.3 times while chasing a rally and chose to take profits, but the retail investors who continued to hold their positions were not so lucky. Once the dumping started, there was no buffer space at all, as it directly plummeted from a high position to below 1.0 and began to torture sideways.

To be honest, after spending a long time in this market, I have seen quite a few dumping tactics. The most brutal is the kind of operation that dumps directly to the bottom within a minute—especially with those small altcoins that surge sharply at first glance, but carry extremely high risks in reality. Many newcomers stubbornly hold on with the idea of "pattern", but in the end, they often find themselves in a situation where "there's nothing left at all".

From a technical perspective, the direction of mainstream ETH has basically been determined. To operate prudently at this stage, it's important to keep up with the rhythm of the market's mainstream consensus and not be misled by the high volatility of small coins. The greatest wisdom in trading is not greed, but survival.

The dumping tactic around 4-5 AM is something I've grown tired of; they always time it just as Asians are going to sleep. The chips held by retail investors are hardly worth noticing in front of the market makers; those who run at 2.3 times are the real winners. Seriously, avoid small coins; the more they rise fiercely, the quicker they die. Many have lost everything just because of the two words "pattern". Survival is the top priority; those who are greedy have become suckers. ETH is still relatively safe; chasing after those meme coins is purely seeking death.

Dumping at 4-5 AM? Isn't this the golden period for institutions to Be Played for Suckers? A nightmare for Asian retail investors. That guy who ran at 2.3 times is really awake, a hundred times better than those who stubbornly hold on. Small coins are just gambling, don't be fooled by those sky-high price increases, wake up, frens. Staying alive is the way to go, this sounds hard-hitting but it's really true. Dumping for a minute to the bottom? I really wouldn't touch such coins, they're too shady. Following the mainstream Consensus is the right path, I’m no longer getting carried away by the big pump and big dump of small coins.

I've seen dumping happen around 4-5 AM too. To put it simply, it's market makers cutting suckers while Asians are asleep. Don't talk to me about strategies; once it hits 2.3 times, you should run. Holding on will leave you with nothing but bones. I advise you not to touch those small coins that plummet in a minute; 99% of the time, it's a trap. Following ETH is definitely the right move; don't blindly trade altcoins. In this market, staying alive is more important than making money, everyone. Newbies dream of tenfold or hundredfold returns every day, only to get trapped by dumping and lose everything. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Can't you see that someone is manipulating things so precisely? I really don't understand why there are still people rushing into small coins.

Concentrated dumping from 4 to 5 AM... etc., I have noticed this pattern for a long time. According to on-chain data, the capital flow of these operations has obvious concentrated characteristics, and it can basically be locked to the same batch of addresses. Newbies are still in the "pattern", unaware that they have already been trapped. This is a typical method of washing coins, accumulating at high positions and dumping at low positions, repeatedly playing people for suckers. Living is more important than making money; this saying is very true.
