#数字资产代币化浪潮 has seen too many people stumble on alts.

I know a trader who stepped on a big landmine during the transition from bear to bull in 2023.

A new project suddenly emerges, with the team taking frequent actions - announcements are made every now and then, and various "insider news" are flying around in the community, with screenshots claiming that "large funds have entered the market" circulating everywhere.

He was feeling impulsive at that moment, watching the K-line rise for three consecutive days, and his account balance doubled. However, on the fifth day, the situation changed drastically: the price plummeted instantly at the open, cutting it in half, and he found himself standing at the altcoin peak.

After that time, he said something to me when we chatted:
"In this market, the ones who can truly survive are not those who chase the hottest trends the fastest, but those who can see clearly who is manipulating the market and who is taking over."

He later summarized two criteria for judgment —

**First: Is there any major capital backing it?**

A coin without strong backing is like a self-driving car; no matter how flashy the concept is or how beautifully the white paper is written, it’s all just spinning in place.

Projects with real control logic:
- Will quietly accumulate before the rise.
- The rhythm of rises and falls is clearly controllable.
- There won't be absurd price movements like "three consecutive ups today, and a direct collapse tomorrow."

Remember one thing: those who rely on announcements to pump prices are mostly unreliable.

**Second: Is there real traffic?**

The essence of the crypto market is attention economy.

Low popularity, low trading depth, low on-chain activity – no matter how good the asset is, it can't attract buyers.

You need to learn to look at three indicators:
Community discussion heat, order book depth, on-chain address activity.

As long as these three data points are online, the chips will have liquidity value, and only when the sentiment rises can the market be sustained.

Don't just focus on the price fluctuations, you need to see clearly:
Who is driving the market? Where is the capital being supported? What is the logic behind the control?

Understanding these will at least prevent you from being harvested so badly.

Even if I can't make huge profits, at least I can avoid those traps that can be seen through at a glance.

Alright, this trader is right, I just fell into the trap of not watching the market maker. At a glance, false orders, announcement bombardment, and screenshots flying everywhere, I can see through that trap at a glance now. The key is still to focus on on-chain data, don't be fooled by the Candlestick.

Fake trading can be easily spotted; the key is not to be emotionally manipulated. --- Every time I see a sudden surge in a coin, I can smell a conspiracy. To put it simply, it’s about whether the market maker has real capital in it. --- The common issue with scam projects is the piling up of announcements, while the on-chain data is as cold as a ghost town—one poke and it collapses. --- That brother summarized it correctly; a market control logic with a clear trend cannot deceive people. A ridiculous plummet is the norm. --- I agree with the point about the flow economy; a coin without heat will die even if the concept is explosive; there has to be someone to catch the falling knife. --- The key is to learn how to read the order book; there are too many fake trading volumes deceiving people; a real market cannot sustain it. --- It’s easier said than done; most people are just greedy and rush to enter a position as soon as they see three consecutive bullish candles. --- With low on-chain activity, you still dare to go all in; who can you blame? This is just paying an IQ tax.

It's this trap again, but I just saw a data report in the early morning. The so-called "big funds entering the market" wallet clusters are actually multiple addresses of the same institution, and the capital flow matches perfectly... These projects are all the same.

You're right, I never touch coins that are bombarded with announcements. --- Really, those who send messages every day to create hype are basically paving the way for their own dumps. --- The market maker funds are indeed the core; it doesn't matter how good it looks if no one is catching a falling knife. --- Haha, I have friends who have been harvested, and now they see Candlestick charts with shadows. --- Liquidity is the king; once you understand this, you won't always be trapped. --- On-chain activity is an indicator I must check now; it's much more reliable than announcements. --- To be honest, most new coins' White Papers are written like a heavenly book, and the prettier they look, the more dangerous they are. --- You can tell whether there is real capital just by looking at the Depth of the order book; many coins plummet as soon as you touch them. --- Projects with clear control the market trend logic won't have crazy pumps; behind bizarre rises are all traps. --- Once being harvested is enough; now I'd rather earn less and be clear before entering a position.

You're right, I keep my distance from projects that frequently issue announcements; they usually don't end well. Really, it's key to see whether the market makers are controlling the market trend; otherwise, no matter how good the story is, it's just the dumb buyer's story. I can't help but think of the few coins I stumbled upon last year, which are now worthless; my regret is overflowing. On-chain data lies, but trading depth never deceives; learning this has saved a lot of blood. To be honest, most altcoins are just waiting for the last batch of buyers; understanding this makes one less greedy.
