One day +$54,000.



On the day of a popular event, retail investors flock to the same side, pushing the price up. But what are the real winners doing?

They don't guess the outcome.
They don't analyze fundamentals.
They just wait for the market to distort the order book.

When the crowd is frantically chasing one side, the implied probability is inflated—far higher than the actual win rate. At this moment, they stand on the other side, using the right size to absorb this deviation.

This is no longer about betting on wins or losses.
It's about harvesting the premium of the crowd's confidence.

The same logic applies in the crypto world: retail chasing hot topics, capital piling in, prices artificially inflated, risks concentrated. Seeing through this bias is the key to stable profits.

Actually, it's just a set of reverse thinking strategies. When retail investors are all on one side, I operate in the opposite way and truly earn their "IQ tax." Countering with reverse leverage, waiting for the bagholders to dump so I can buy the dip. This move is really brilliant. To put it simply, it's a game of musical chairs. You need to see who the final bagholder is... I feel like I'm that person. I read these kinds of articles every day, and yet I still get trapped when I make a move. What's going on, everyone? Alright, I admit it. Most people simply can't see through this game, including myself.

Retail investors are still chasing gains and selling off at lows; smart money has already been building positions in the opposite direction. --- It's the same logic again. After playing in the crypto space for so long, I understand that the more people there are, the greater the risk. --- The 50/50 situation has been hyped up to 90/10. Why not take advantage of this price difference? --- Basically, it's about buying low and selling high, but most people can't do it because their mentality collapses. --- When I see the group shouting every day that certain coins are going to skyrocket, I know it's time to go against the trend. --- That's true alpha, not just blindly throwing everything into a gamble. --- Studying candlestick charts every day is less effective than understanding human nature. --- If your funds are sufficient, twisting the order book is really that easy.

That's right, retail investors just like to huddle together for warmth. The hotter it gets, the more they pile in, and the result is being harvested. Honestly, I think this logic does work, but it requires strong psychological resilience to execute and the courage to go against the trend. However, going against the trend isn't just about closing your eyes and doing it; you need to carefully watch the distribution of chips. The crypto world is even more brutal, mainly due to information asymmetry. When retail investors chase hot topics, big V and institutions have already laid their traps. I want to ask, does this approach work even better in a bear market? It seems too easy to chase the wrong direction in a bull market.
