#ETH# The market has reached the weekend again, the most subtle moment. Wishing everyone a happy weekend in advance!

With less than a month until the interest rate cut, the most important task for institutions is to quickly accumulate positions at low levels, while retail investors continue with their age-old trading methods: chasing long positions when there is a rise and selling or even shorting when there is weakness. According to this pattern, there are still two scenarios to provide, just in case (continuing from the previous numbering, 1 for sell-off and 2 for sideways):

- The horizontal band smash, that is, the blue script, continues to fluctuate and narrow between the 2h Bollinger Bands. Retail investors feel that the market is weak, sell off and then chase strong coins (such as OKB). Then, institutions finish accumulating and suddenly push it up, causing retail investors to miss out again, leading to a retaliatory short, which will all become fuel.

- Liquidation accumulation, which is the red script, breaks below the 2-hour Bollinger Bands, retail investors continue to buy the dip at 4000, unaware that the Bollinger support has already been broken, leading to a direct drop below 4000, a spike in volume liquidates to 3800, forcibly completes a crab pattern before pulling back up. Retail investors either temporarily have no money or hesitate, and by the time they pull back, the opportunity is gone again, resulting in a situation where the level reappears but their positions have disappeared. Institutions then capture liquidity through bullish OB to complete rapid accumulation before directly surging to ATH.
