Right now, the market's running circles around traders and it's working perfectly. Every time someone thinks they've figured out the pattern, the price action flips the script—and everyone scrambles to adjust. It's pure psychology at play. The volatility we're seeing isn't just random noise; it's strategic positioning by smart money testing retail conviction. Bull traps, bear traps, late entries chasing pumps—the whole thing feels like one big head game. And honestly, that's exactly how markets operate when uncertainty peaks.

Are you still talking about the smart money theory? In theory, it should be feasible, but I think it's just packaging market psychology in a more academic way. To put it simply, it's just big players cutting leeks, and us retail investors are just the puppets being toyed with—this contract is quite interesting, I'll try out this smart trap first.

Basically, the big players are fishing, and we are all that fish.

Wow, this is what true leek harvesting artistry is all about. We retail investors are just being played like monkeys.

The dealer's trick is really slippery, and our group of leeks are killed by recycling

Honestly, this is why retail investors always get cut... smart money is playing psychological warfare, while we're still studying candlestick charts.
