The recent market movements are just repeating one thing:

Mass liquidation.

90% of retail investors haven't even waited for the market to truly start,
They've already been wiped out in the volatility.

I've said it before:
It's not the market being cruel,
It's that the liquidation time has arrived.

Before the main upward wave, the market doesn't rely on single-sided clearing,
But uses spikes, oscillations, and time,
To gradually clear out leverage, emotions, and illusions.

Retail investors bet on "it will start immediately",
But forget that the trend will definitely come,
It's just that there's no guarantee it'll happen in the next second.

As time extends,
Interest eats away at you, patience wears you down,
In the end, it's not the market that takes you,
But yourself.

The leverage in contracts never only amplifies gains,
It also exposes human nature. The more you lose, the more you double down; the more rebounds, the more illusions,
Until all your escape routes are sealed.

When the real start happens,
What you see is "luck",
What you don't see is how many people have already been cleared out before this.

The market only handles the handover:
Gamblers create volatility,
Paper hands amplify panic,
Those who go to zero,
Hand over their chips.
