Market manipulation running rampant—and nobody's even trying to hide it anymore. 🚩 Scams happening right out in the open. The tactics are getting bolder: coordinated pumps, fake volume spikes, rug pulls disguised as legitimate projects. It's become too obvious to ignore. These schemes aren't operating in the shadows; they're unfolding where everyone can see them. The real question is—why do people keep falling for it?

I've suffered too many losses before. Now I get annoyed when I see such blatant manipulation tactics.

Basically, it's the gambler's mentality—knowing it's a trap but jumping in anyway.

Based on the K-line angle coefficient, the trajectory of this manipulation has already broken through the moral atmosphere, and RSI has long been overbought, making it impossible for gravity resistance levels to stop this group of people. Still, the same old story, if you can't calculate escape velocity accurately, no matter how smart you are, you'll lose money. This isn't a launch window issue; it's a problem with human nature's fuel supply. Why are there still people falling for it? I think it's because they don't understand the Bollinger Bands channel, set their stop-loss levels incorrectly, and haven't learned probability and statistics well.

Bro really hit the nail on the head. These past two years have been truly outrageous. The rug pull tricks are almost common knowledge now, yet people still rush into them.
