When liquidity tightens at the end of the year, market sentiment begins to cool down. Don't be fooled by the fierce rally at high levels; it can turn around and smash you back to where you started — this is the norm.

Looking at $MERL's recent trend, you'll understand — every time it surges to a key level, it is immediately suppressed and falls back, unable to hold steady. Why? Because the chips have already been released; the market isn't dumping suddenly, but rather doing the math in advance.

No one sells immediately, and the expected pressure is enough. When buying hesitates, the rebound naturally becomes hollow. That's why repeated surges are like paper-thin. When liquidity dries up, any upward movement can't last too long.

MERL-1.76%

It's the same old trick, played every year. This round of MERL really made me laugh to death; it shot up and was pushed back down, the chips had already run away while we were still sleepwalking. --- When liquidity tightens, you immediately know who's naked swimming; the rebound is as fragile as paper. --- The pressure of expectations is really ruthless; it can scare people away without even needing to sell. --- At the end of the year, no matter how fierce the rise, it can't change the fate; the buying psychology has already collapsed. --- MERL keeps surging higher as if it's acting, just a story of retail chips. --- To put it simply, big players are doing the math in advance; while we're still looking at the bullish trend, they've already run away. --- When buying hesitates, the entire rebound becomes hollow; this is the power of liquidity exhaustion.

I'm done, MERL's rebound this time is really a paper-thin bounce, it keeps fooling me into buying the dip. The chips have already moved out, and we're still holding on stubbornly. Whoever makes this trade loses. Liquidity is gone, everything is pointless. This is the state we're in at the end of the year.

It's the same old story, every year they talk about liquidity tightening, why does it always get hammered down? MERL is really bad this time, it's normal that it can't hold its position. The chip release started a long time ago, now entering is purely as a bagholder.

The fake rally has long bored me; by the end of the year, everyone will have to kneel. This wave of MERL is a textbook example of "false fire." With chips in hand, they want to run, while we're still catching the bag. Once liquidity dries up, all technical analysis is just floating clouds. Instead of chasing highs, it's better to hold cash and sleep soundly.

The saying about chip release is getting tired, but this wave of MERL indeed looks like paper, never holding up each time. --- End of the year is like this, expected pressure exceeds actual selling pressure, just a psychological game. --- Liquidity tightens and buying immediately retreats, who dares to take the bait at this time is just foolish. --- $MERL is typical, shoots up and is immediately pushed back down, no tricks to play. --- Not a big problem, a rebound with a hollow pattern is normal, just be patient and wait for the real chip stabilization period.
