The recent trend of Zcash has attracted a lot of attention. From a market perspective, the selling pressure of this coin is relatively mild, and with support from top global mining equipment manufacturers, the probability of breaking above 700 is not small.

The interesting part of the data is here—pushing the price to 700 requires the market maker to invest about 10 million. But if it triggers a wave of short positions being liquidated, the profit could multiply tenfold to 100 million. This explains why the market often oscillates around resistance levels, creating the illusion of a break that is hard to achieve. When short positions accumulate to a certain scale, it often signals a rapid upward move. This kind of market manipulation tactic has been seen many times in the crypto market, but someone always ends up getting caught in the trap.

It's the same old trick again, short positions accumulate to the critical point and then start to rally. A business that leverages 10 million to make 100 million in profit, indeed tempting. --- Can zec break 700 this time? Feels like it's about to be shaken out again. --- Wait, backed by mining machine manufacturers? Is this an attempt to hint at the identity of the market maker? --- If it can't break 700, I'll keep shorting. If it does... then I'll accept the loss. I understand the strategy but can't bet against the capital. --- Looks like it's time to reduce positions. This statement is basically saying that shorting is very risky. --- Every time I hear this, someone still goes all-in on short positions. Yeah.

I’ve been watching the 700 level for a long time; it definitely looks like a trap. The wave of short positions being liquidated was really brutal; my friend got cut last time. I've seen this kind of trap many times, but when it comes to critical moments, some people still rush in. Endorsements from mining machine manufacturers sound good, but you also have to watch out for backlash. Controlling the market is something everyone knows about, but it’s really a psychological game you can’t win. Pulling 10 million down to 700? The subsequent push would have to be incredibly strong. If Zcash really breaks through this time, I’ll believe it; right now, it’s all just a setup. Every time they say it’s going to be liquidated, but it just keeps bouncing back and forth, so annoying. Repeated oscillations near the resistance level are basically absorbing funds, waiting to cut the leeks. I’ve seen this pattern too many times; in the end, the big players eat the meat while retail investors drink the soup.

10 million for 100 million profit, this trick has been overused for a long time, yet some still chase the high and get trapped, serving them right. When the short positions are piled up to the point, it's time to run. Breaking 700 in this wave is not a dream. ZEC, this coin, is really different with mining machine manufacturers backing it. Waiting to see the short squeeze liquidation show, most likely again the blood of retail investors. This move by the big players, small investors simply can't afford to play.

Here we go again? 10 million to pump the price vs 100 million in profit. Why do I feel like I'm the one being harvested like a leek?

Is this another routine? 10 million pull-down vs 100 million liquidation. The calculations are so clear that the more I look at it, the more suspicious it seems. Does short accumulation necessarily lead to a rise? I feel like this theory is always used to trap retail investors. Does anyone seriously play with Zcash, or is it just a cash machine for the whales? The 700 level has been heard several times before, each time almost breaking through, but ultimately falling back. It feels a bit like bankruptcy. I don't deny the logic, but I can't beat their speed.

Coming back with this again? 10 million to pull the market down for 100 million profit sounds great, but when the time comes, will we retail investors still be able to get the chips?

10 million pull-down vs 100 million profit, this calculation is really clear, no wonder it always gets stuck at the pressure level --- It's the same old trick, when the short positions pile up to the point of explosion, it's time to harvest. veterans all know this --- ZEC this wave is really interesting, the backing from mining machine manufacturers plus mild selling pressure, 700 seems really not a dream --- Every time they say they've seen this trick before, but still a bunch of people go short to catch the knives haha --- The repeated oscillation at the pressure level is right, it's just grinding time to accumulate chips --- 10 million cost for 100 million profit, if I were the market maker, I would do the same --- The data analysis of this ZEC wave is a bit insightful, but as always, those who know the tricks still end up losing money
