Once the news of the spot market going live came out, the market started to react in advance, and the trading charts had already begun to rise. The question is—when the official time arrives, will it continue to surge or crash down?

Look, this is a typical situation of "good news turning into bad news." The good news has already been priced in, and institutions and smart money have already jumped in. When the official time arrives, it becomes the moment for retail investors to take the bait. My simple idea is: rather than risking buying at a high point, it's better to stay cautious and set a stop loss at 0.2.

Even if you don't want to short, you must recognize one fact—buying at a high is essentially following the trend, and most likely, you'll get trapped. If you really want to go long, you should wait and see, and only enter after market sentiment has calmed down and the price has adjusted. Greed often leads to bad outcomes in trading.

Having already digested it early, what's the point of pulling strings? Just waiting to harvest the profits.

They've all been bought up in advance; retail investors entering the market are just giving away money.

It's the same old trick, institutions eat the meat while retail investors drink the soup. I already said not to chase high on the day the spot market went live, but still a bunch of people rushed in.

I've already set up my short positions, just waiting to see if it can drop to 0.2. The greedy ones will have to cut their losses.

Honestly, those who bought at high levels are probably kicking themselves now. Isn't it better to wait for a correction before entering again?

Many times, good news turns into bad news once it materializes. I've learned my lesson.

Institutions cashing out retail investors, an eternal theme haha.

It's the same old story again, good news is eaten up in advance, retail investors get caught when the market moves.

Institutions have already taken their profits, and we're still here debating whether it will go up or down, typical of being a latecomer.

Every time someone takes a high-position buy-in, they get trapped. There's really nothing to say about it.

Instead of betting on a rise, it's better to wait for a correction. Greed is truly a poison in trading.

With such obvious patterns in the market, why are so many people still jumping in?

Let's wait and see what happens after the spot trading officially launches. I bet it will go down.

This is the fate of retail investors: reacting early and getting eaten up, ending up as a loss. Old routine.

It's the same trick again: the positive news is announced early, then the market crashes, and retail investors are always the last to catch the falling knife.

actually... this is just the classic information asymmetry problem dressed up as market psychology, yeah? institutions got the cryptographic advantage here—they know the exact mechanics before retail even reads the headline. it's not really about "priced in," it's about who had access to the primitives of the market first.
