The logical loophole in a certain points token project is really worth vigilance. If the points exchange after 180 days can achieve a 27x return, and the current price has already multiplied several times or even more than 20 times, then the theoretical profit space after half a year could be as high as 270 times or even 540 times — this number depends on when you acquire the points.

This is also where the problem lies. Under normal thinking, many people would hedge at the current price, but the real killers are these hedgers. The market makers are just taking this meal.

According to the rhythm prediction, this coin is very likely to be pushed to the $50-100 range in the coming time. The market is waiting for the unlock on the 22nd, but don’t naively think that the market makers can’t handle those unlock volumes. A more ruthless tactic is that when enough people short based on the unlock expectations, the market makers make a reverse move, causing the short positions to break through directly. The seemingly risky move instead becomes the biggest trap.

To be honest, I've seen this trick too many times. The 270x multiplier sounds exciting, but only a few actually get it in hand. The big players are just waiting for you to get trapped and hedge, everyone knows it. What will happen on the 22nd? Nobody knows, but a short squeeze that breaks through all defenses is absolutely brilliant and unpredictable.

How many times has the market maker played this trick? There are really people rushing headlong into the gunfire. Hedging all gets cut off; this short squeeze will definitely blow up. 270x leverage? Wake up, buddy, that's the story of cutting leeks. Rebound on the night before the 22nd unlock, those who understand know. The numbers look good, but if you can come out alive with the actual money, that's already good. This coin is just a playground for market makers; stop messing around. 50 to 100 USD? I bet this is another new numbness point. The hedging mindset is deadly; everything has been calculated in advance. This wave of daily shorts is probably going to be taught a lesson. Another project that "seems risky" but is actually full of traps.

Another number game... 270x 540x, just listen to it The big players rely on this to cut leeks; you think you've come up with a hedge, but they've already calculated it Unlock on the 22nd? Haha, don’t cry when the short positions break through at that time Every day, projects like this, you can tell how they’re going to die just by looking Feels like someone is going to get trapped again this time... Price increases 20 times but still dreaming of 270 times, just a pipe dream That’s why I usually don’t touch points coins; the tricks are too deep Looks like a tempting profit, but it’s actually a slaughterhouse

It's the same old trick. 27x to 540x, isn't this just an economic version of a re-entrancy attack—each layer of nesting consumes the assumptions of the previous layer. The wave of unlocks on the 22nd, the whales had already laid out their plans on-chain. While you were discussing short positions in Telegram, their contracts had already been programmed with counter-attack logic. The real vulnerability isn't in the token model, but in the predictability of traders.

Another "looks like a guaranteed profit" situation, truly unbelievable. The big players are just waiting for these hedgers to rush in. Unlock on the 22nd? Haha, retail investors are so naive. That 270x number is just for show; those who really go all-in would already be in the hospital. I've seen short positions break through this level too many times; every time, someone suffers heavy losses. This logical flaw is as big as a hole.

the real alchemy here isn't the 270x fantasy... it's watching retail fight their own shadows while the actual transmutation happens in dark pools. 540x numbers are just sigils to lure the sacrifice-ready into liquidation positions. classic forbidden strat, nothing new under this market's occult moon honestly.

It's the same old trick again, hedgers are bound to die The big players are just waiting for you to short, then they break through in the opposite direction and go all-in 270x leverage? Dream on Before the unlock on the 22nd, get liquidated first, classic script Points projects = scamming retail investors, nothing new These numbers are so outrageous I doubt my own eyes The moment the short position is liquidated, you'll realize what it means to be completely trapped 50-100 USD? I bet 5U he can push it to 150
