It's the same old story again - sell and then pump.

This lesson is quite profound. Last night I got interested in another target and casually swapped two small coins for one. As a result, today the market suddenly gave a nice movement, and the one I should have dumped has been picked up, and now it's actually rising.

Later, I thought about it, and the real problem is not about timing, but about choosing too small a plate. Both buying and selling are laborious, orders take a long time to execute, and it's even more troublesome when exiting. Once liquidity is not good, no matter how good the coin is, it's useless—stuck inside with no way to advance or retreat.

The current strategy has changed. No longer pursuing the high profits of small coins, but shifting towards medium and large market cap assets. To make an analogy with the STAR Market, it means only selecting the top-tier options and not touching the scraps. This way, at least the trading won't be dragged down by the market itself, allowing for a true focus on analysis.

It was only after paying the tuition that I understood the lesson on liquidity.

Liquidity is really a trap; you won't understand until you lose once.

Selling causes the price to rise, this logic is really brilliant... Small-cap stocks are just traps, with poor liquidity you’ll get stuck and lose everything.

Selling causes the price to rise—that joke is always fresh. Small-cap tokens are indeed traps, with liquidity so bad it's explosive.

All in means choosing assets with good Liquidity, small caps are simply traps.

This is the consequence of being repeatedly educated by the market; small coins are really a pit.

Oh, this feels so familiar, the liquidity trap of small coins can really suffocate a person.

Ha, a typical Liquidity Trap, you can consider this a not-too-expensive lesson. Looking at the chip distribution for small coins, it's clear at a glance—you exited just when the market maker was accumulating, forming a perfect V-shaped reversal. However, realizing this later shows that you still have some brains. Medium to large caps are indeed much more appealing; at least the Candlestick won't be ruined by a few Large Investors, and the technical analysis becomes meaningful. I agree with the idea of selecting the top; it saves you from having to analyze the Trading Volume and the tricks of buy and sell orders every time. The key is not to fall back into the old trap of "catching a falling knife" at high positions. While large caps have good liquidity, those who are trapped are still suckers, so apply the probability strategy this time.

Ah, this is my daily routine, selling must inevitably follow the pump law. Liquidity is truly an invisible harvesting machine, small caps are just a pit.
