$RIVER has been quite volatile recently, making people feel both excited and nervous. The market shows clear signs of dominant players controlling the price, with fluctuations being outrageously large. Long traders have been wiped out at high levels, leading to doubts about life, while short sellers have been repeatedly swept out with quick rebounds that are hard to react to. Many traders are even starting to wonder if this rally has no ceiling.

As bullish sentiment grows stronger and some traders have indeed made profits after breaking through key levels, there is also market concern—rumors suggest a token unlock event is coming in late this month, which could lead to significant selling pressure.

From a technical perspective, the current price is around 20.923 USDT, with the first support at 18.207 (1-hour timeframe, 11.30% away). Bulls and bears are engaged in a fierce tug-of-war, and market sentiment is already quite tense. In such an environment, risk and opportunity often go hand in hand. Investors should stay alert and avoid being blinded by the market movements; a double-sided trap is something to be very cautious of.

Is this the same gameplay again? Unlocking and smashing the market—this old trick is really annoying. Getting liquidated at a high position is deserved; greed has its consequences. I really don't dare to touch the $20 level, let's wait and see. The main players are playing too aggressively; retail investors are just like chives. Dumping in late month? I bet five cents it won't be that obvious. Feels like a double kill again; might as well lie flat. Who profits and who loses in this wave of market movement is all about fate. Can the $18 support hold? I have no idea. The ceiling? Ha, the main players call the shots. Instead of guessing the trend, better ask if your account has what it takes.

Is the main force really playing like this? The brothers who got liquidated at high positions probably can't even eat now. --- Unlocking in late month? That might be bloodshed by then. --- Falling from 20.923 to 18.207 is only 11 points; this support level doesn't feel very solid either. --- Another "don't be blinded by emotions" situation. I say this every time, but I still get led astray. --- Losses are being wiped out repeatedly. This time, the bears are really taking a beating again and again. --- It's ridiculous to say there's no ceiling; clearly someone is dumping the market. --- Let's wait for the unlock. Then we'll see how many can hold on to the bottom. --- Who dares to hold heavy positions with such volatility? I just withdrew my hands. --- The rhythm of both bulls and bears killing each other; the median people are the unluckiest. --- Is around 18 dollars the real bottom? Or do I keep falling further? I don't know either.

End of month unlock dumping? We'll get hammered again then, tired of this routine. --- The main force's move is really clever, both bulls and bears can be harvested once. I'm just watching the show quietly. --- Still swinging around above $20? Feels like the ceiling is coming soon. --- Another day of liquidation, why does this trap always catch me? --- Support levels are broken, how to buy the dip? Might as well just sleepwalk. --- Once the unlock event happens, it will definitely crash. This wave of bulls' bagholders is quite ruthless. --- Those who can't react are probably newbies who haven't experienced double kills a few times. --- This market trend is no different from a casino, purely based on the dealer's mood. --- Shorts get swept, longs get liquidated, choosing either way is doomed.

Unlocking and smashing the market in late month, gotta watch out for that. Right now, with bullish sentiment so high, it's even more dangerous. News of daily liquidations flooding the headlines, $RIVER really can't handle this wave. Support at 18.2 is just around the corner, and it broke through before anyone could react. Is there no ceiling to this rally? Wake up, once the unlocking wave hits, everything becomes pointless. The main players are really ruthless, killing both longs and shorts. I give up trying to understand this market. Feels like another wave of long liquidation is coming. I got caught in a similar situation last time. I'm skeptical. The technicals look terrible. I'll wait until the end of the month when the risk is released.

The unlock at the end of the month is coming, and this rebound feels risky. Long positions at high levels need to be cautious; the selling pressure is no joke. Damn, I got wiped out again. The main force is really ruthless. Still daring to chase at over $20? I think it's a gamble. Support is around $18; if it drops below, it will be a sell-off.

The data shows that this wave of gains is a bit unreasonable. If you look at it hourly, how long the support level can hold is really hard to say. However, with the unlocking event in late the month, miners are selling too much, and a correction is unavoidable. Wait a bit longer, don't rush to chase the highs before the historical lows appear. What does the 11.30% gap indicate? I've seen many double-kill situations like this, and they always become the most chaotic before collapsing. I've observed the pattern: a break is a break. An unreasonable mechanism will eventually backfire.

Another routine move at the end of the month, the project team’s unlocking operation is really slick. I’ve seen through the milk money for my three kids. The monthly chart is about to crash, the bulls at high levels should wake up, don’t be fooled by the wealth password too badly. This wave of main control is clearly a bet agreement move, everyone who gets in will be sheared for profit. At around $20? I missed the fork arbitrage, so I choose to lie flat and observe now. The double kill scenario is right in front of us, old leeks with poor safety awareness are probably going to pay tuition again.

Unlocking at the end of the month, this time it's a bit uncertain. --- Those who got liquidated are all shouting about the ceiling; those who made profits have already run. --- The main players are really playing hard this time; retail investors are just like leeks. --- Support levels are all in place; breaking below them is the real problem. --- After being repeatedly wiped out, who still has the mood to look at charts? --- Thinking of buying in at just over 20 bucks? Wait and see. --- More short and kill, in the end, retail investors are killing retail investors.

Unlocking in late month? Then you really need to be careful, this is the easiest time to cause a dump. How are the brothers who got liquidated at high positions doing now? Are they okay? I dare not chase anymore, it feels like the main players are just fishing. At this price of over $20, I think it's better to wait, no need to rush. It looks like a repeat of the bullish and bearish double kill show. This wave of gains is indeed outrageous, I always feel something's going to go wrong. Holding back from chasing is the wisest decision at this stage. With such obvious control by the main players, how can retail investors still play? Break through key levels and then just run, isn't greed a problem? Who is still here buying the dip? I'm really scared now.
