I want to share my recent trading approach for PLAY.

Initially, I noticed that PLAY was showing a clear accumulation pattern on the daily chart. As the volume decreased and it pulled back, retail investors started to sell off. Then, the first rally occurred. I didn't react quickly enough at that time, which was a bit regrettable.

However, the subsequent decline after the rally gave me a new signal — the volume remained shrinking, indicating that the big players still held the chips. This upward move was likely just giving the follow-up traders an opportunity to exit. If they wanted to continue distributing, they would need to push the price higher.

My strategy was clear: wait until retail investors truly can't sell anymore before entering. The opportunity finally arrived. When the volume was pushed to the limit and the 4-hour chart started to consolidate sideways, I could already sense the market's turning point — retail investors no longer had the strength to continue selling, which was the optimal entry point.

Overall, this operation went quite smoothly, and I am fairly satisfied with the result.

Hmm... this wave is quite detailed, and decreasing volume is indeed a signal. I'm also waiting for that critical point.

Oh no, the first round of surge was really a trap, but this actually gives you a chance to see through the manipulator's intentions.

Oh, I missed the first wave and didn't react in time, which is a bit regrettable. But later on, reading the volume correctly was indeed comfortable.

Damn, I need to learn from this move. Shortening to the limit and then jumping in is truly brilliant. I kept catching the bag and getting stuck before.

The consolidation with decreased volume was indeed an excellent entry point; your bottom-fishing skills are quite good.

Buddy, your technique is pretty impressive, just a bit of late realization. --- The real opportunity is only when the volume shrinks to the extreme; I agree with this judgment. --- Waiting for retail investors to sell out before entering? Easy to say, but hard to grasp in practice. --- It's a bit regretful not to have caught the first wave; missing such opportunities is always the hardest. --- Consolidation with decreasing volume is indeed a good signal; I’ve learned that. --- All are correct, but the question is, can you be this decisive every time? --- This approach is actually about tracking the actions of the big players; sounds simple, but it's hard to do. --- The description of volume being pushed to the limit is excellent—that moment.
