Main forces never rely on luck to harvest profits; instead, they engage in carefully orchestrated psychological games.

Recently, a small coin on a major exchange has been performing a series of "roller coaster" acts. Rapid rises and falls within days, causing retail investors chasing the highs to be directly cut off. Having navigated this circle for years, today I will use straightforward language to dissect the main force's tactics of "violent price surges to lure in traders → breaking support to wipe out longs."

This is not natural market fluctuation. It is a sophisticated "leek harvesting machine," with every step stepping on retail investors' greed and fear.

**How the main force step-by-step cuts profits**

I've seen cases like MYX and COAI. The manipulator's operations have already formed a standard process.

**First move: Sudden surge to create a false impression of "breakthrough"**

They target coins with small circulating supply and highly concentrated holdings (the top ten addresses holding over 95% of the supply are the most dangerous). They hype these with hot topics like AI and DeFi.

Then, they lie in wait at critical resistance levels—such as the 20-day moving average or key round numbers—and suddenly dump large funds to violently push the price up, creating a false impression of a "breakthrough." On September 18, MYX surged 298.18% in a single day, with a maximum intraday fluctuation of 317.11%, causing short positions to be liquidated for $52.08 million. Can such crazy volatility be natural market behavior? Absolutely impossible.

At this point, technical retail investors see the "classic breakout pattern" and rush in. Contract traders even leverage up to go long, fearing to miss out on this "hundredfold coin." The main force then exploits this frenzy of follow-up buying, easily pushing the price to the preset high. Then, they gradually and secretly start unloading their chips.

MYX3,23%

COAI-1,91%

It's the same old trick, and it really makes a lot of money. I'm too scared to touch small coins anymore. Wait, did that MYX wave really blow up over 50 million? That's outrageous, it's totally a slaughter. I just want to know, how can I see through their tactics? The top ten addresses holding over 95% is definitely something to watch out for, but how do I identify it in practice? Oh my god, these main players are so ruthless, retail investors really have no way out. A sudden surge and then they run away, there's nothing more to say. After experiencing it once, I learned to be smarter.

Really, just look at that wave of MYX, a 298% increase—there's no way that's a real breakout, just a classic rug pull script. Honestly, I stopped paying attention to technical analysis a long time ago; I only look at the top ten addresses' holdings, and if they hold over 95%, I just stay away. These small coins are not investments at all; they're just gambling, and the big players have already divided the cake. People get wiped out every day, so how are there still so many who dare to go all-in? Truly incredible. MYX was liquidated for over 50 million, that number alone sounds painful. Chasing highs is just giving away money, nothing else. I've seen too many cases like this. The key is that this trick always works because greed never dies.

$52.08 million liquidation, I wonder how many retail investors have to kneel --- I watched that wave of MYX in the live stream, a bunch of people shouting hundredfold, now they’re all eating dirt --- Honestly, reading this article reminded me of the screams in the group that day. Greed really can be deadly --- 95% of the chips are concentrated, isn’t this just a naked trap? And some still dare to chase --- Every time I say I’ve learned my lesson, I get cut again next time. My brain really has some issues --- The rhythm of sharp rise and fall is so obvious now, yet some still rush in. I’m impressed --- So now, those still daring to play small coin contracts are really gambling with their lives --- Anyone can learn this process of cutting leeks, the hard part is controlling yourself from greed --- Even if you understand it, it’s useless. You still can’t beat the dealer’s psychological tactics --- Single-day increase of 298%? That’s not a breakout, it’s the last wild celebration before a dump

Is this another routine? I was also in the MYX wave, went all in and lost everything. Now whenever I see a surge, I reflexively want to run. Oh my, is there a new trick this time? Still the same old game, can't learn not to lose. That's right, it's a psychological battle, but retail investors just can't keep things in their minds. Greed takes over and they forget everything. Only dare to touch addresses with over 95% in the top ten? That's asking for death. I now always check the distribution of chips before looking at the market; if you're timid, just give up. Over 50 million in liquidation... Oh my, that number looks terrifying. I don't know how many people have gone back to zero overnight. So, are there still people daring to play small coin contracts? I'm completely scared now.

I find this article quite heartfelt, but to be honest, I'm already tired of this routine. The problem is, so what if I know? Retail investors are still being cut? The key is, how can we avoid being cut?

Damn, this routine is clearly the standard three-step scam. Retail investors are still dreaming of a hundredfold coin. It's the same old story: technical breakthroughs + hot topics + small caps, you can't avoid any of them. 95% of the top ten addresses? It's a ticking time bomb. I don't even bother looking at such coins. That wave of MYX was really fierce, with over 50 million in liquidation, just to feed the whales. Greed, you know, is truly more valuable than anything else, at least for the whales. The coins in their hands have all been watched like this; now reacting a second too slow means breaking even. When a coin rises so ridiculously, I immediately think in the opposite direction, ready to cut my position.
