The biggest trap in the crypto world is not in the decline, but in your obliviousness—major funds have already quietly exited at certain high levels.

How do they exit? They won't dump all at once, as that would be too obvious. Instead, they leave behind two clear signals that, if you're sharp enough, you can detect.

**Signal One: Crazy trading volume at high levels and price hesitation**

After a good rally, you'll notice a phenomenon—trading volume suddenly spikes to historical highs, but the price begins to fluctuate repeatedly, jumping up and down. This looks suspicious, right? Actually, this is the main force gradually distributing their chips in stages. Their tactic is clear: first push the price higher to attract follow-in traders, then use volatility to create a false impression of "shakeout." Retail investors see these intense fluctuations and get scared out, only to turn around and buy from the main force. Sharp rises followed by pullbacks, deep V-shaped rebounds... repeating this process is meant to relax your vigilance, allowing them to offload their chips smoothly.

**Signal Two: The price looks fierce, but indicators start to lie**

Even more cunning is that the top area’s price often still appears strong, even hitting new highs. This is the main force’s final trick—they need to maintain market confidence, so they keep pushing up while gradually reducing their holdings, causing the price to repeatedly break through at high levels, seemingly still rising. But what’s the truth? Indicators like MACD and RSI start to fall behind, unable to keep up with the new highs in price. This is called "top divergence," an important warning sign of a market reversal. The price says "I'm still strong," but the indicators shake their heads and say "Something's off."

**Final Advice**

Main force distribution is never a one-time event; it’s a process. When you notice "volume increasing but price stagnating" or "technical divergence," it’s time to sound the alarm. The euphoric phase is basically coming to an end. In this market, avoiding a big loss is far more valuable than catching a small rally.
