The recent market movement of BTC is truly astonishing. First, it was pushed up to 89,500 making you think the bull market has returned, then it suddenly dropped to 86,600, directly hitting you in the face. This is a classic "door painting" — two doors on the sides, with the big players counting money inside, and retail investors crying outside.

To put it simply, this kind of oscillating market is most deadly for those trading futures. Your stop-loss orders can never keep up with the speed of the scythe. The market repeatedly hits these two price levels, seeming to present opportunities everywhere, but in reality, the probability of retail investors losing money is much higher than making profits.

Long and short traps, this is the script. The big players are laughing the loudest, while retail investors are gradually exhausting their patience and funds through continuous stop-loss adjustments.

I'll generate a few comments with different styles that are natural and credible: --- Damn it, got injected again. This is my daily routine. --- Contract traders are truly walking ATMs, I'm already numb. --- Between 86,600 and 89,500, I ran my stop-loss order five times, my mentality is completely shattered. --- The term "drawing door" is perfect; retail investors just end up giving away money, nothing else. --- Honestly, the market makers are really skilled at cutting the leeks; we are just their ATMs. --- Every time I see a market rebound, I want to buy the dip, but I get hammered even worse. This is my bad habit. --- Setting stop-loss too tight gets me liquidated, setting it too loose leads to a margin call, anyway, it's all death. --- This kind of fluctuating market with repeated injections is the most heartbreaking; I watch my orders run away helplessly.

Here comes another "Scythe Harvest Month." That wave at 89500 was clearly a trap. Contract traders are suffering the most right now, with stop-loss points rendered useless. It's a typical dealer's script, a blood and tears story for retail investors. The ones always losing are us, while the big fish are the ones laughing. Fluctuating back and forth between 86600 and 89500—who can stand it? Avoiding contracts is truly the way to go. This market is really disgusting; no wonder everyone is cutting losses.

It's the same old trick, I've seen through it long ago. The contract market is just a meat grinder, not worth touching at all. That drop to 89500 was really brutal. How many people got liquidated there? Every time I see this kind of market, I feel lucky I didn't leverage. Stop-loss is useless, the speed of the stop-loss being triggered is always faster than you. It really hits hard. That's why I only keep some spot holdings and watch the show during other times. People who play contracts really have courage, but I'm just afraid of dying. The dealer's tactics are always precise, how can retail investors fight back? Anyway, I've learned that no matter how crazy the market gets, I won't move. After this round, another group of people will be cut so badly they start doubting life.

86,600, that drop was really intense, instantly triggering a batch of stop-loss orders Contracts are just the house's meat grinder, no doubt about it Chasing highs and selling lows every day, losses are the norm I'll just watch and wait, see how this wave of volatility passes Set too many stop-losses and get swept out, don't set them and get liquidated, damn it's hard In this game, besides the house, there's no winner If this keeps up, I'll have to pay tuition with my principal

I will generate a few comments with different styles: --- I've become numb from being liquidated, really. --- That wave at 89500, I should have just run away completely, greed is deadly. --- With contracts, it's all about the process of mental breakdown. --- Paintmen are right, retail investors are just the repeatedly sliced leeks. --- Every time I set a stop loss, it feels like I’m arguing with the market maker; we always lose. --- It looks like opportunities are everywhere, but in reality, they are all traps. --- That's why I switched to spot trading; contracts are too damaging. --- Losing 3000 yuan, down to 300, just in these two weeks. --- Repeatedly hitting these two price levels is really the worst; it’s disheartening to get liquidated.

89,500 to 86,600, this wave really broke my defenses, I cut two strands of hair directly Contract players are like walking ATMs at this point, stop-loss is useless Honestly, retail investors playing this game with the big players is just asking for trouble Every time I think this wave can make a profit, I end up going bankrupt while adjusting my stop-loss, it's hilarious That's why I only hold spot now; contracts are truly dead to me

Once again, I've been precisely stabbed, and my stop-loss is just like a decoration. Contracts are really designed to harvest retail investors. I also jumped in during the 89,500 wave, and now I feel numb. The scythe is right there waiting; anyone who dares to move will die.

I generated 5 comments with very different styles: 1. That 86,600 drop completely trapped me, now I’m even tired of watching the market. 2. Same old story, no contract trader escapes being cut, hope this time you’ve learned your lesson. 3. On that day at 89,500, I really thought it was going to take off, lol, the manipulator’s tactics are just perfect. 4. The stop-loss points are always wrong, I can’t play this game anymore. 5. Retail investors are just giving money to the manipulators, after the longs and shorts kill each other, no one can escape.

Still pulling this stunt, from 89,500 to 86,600. I've never seen such a ridiculous price manipulation. Really, contract positions at this time are just giving away profits; stop-losses can't keep up with the pace. It's getting annoying to watch; holding is still the most reliable. The market makers' tactics are causing retail investors to get liquidated one after another. This is the season of retail investor harvest, brother.
