Market maker thinking is something many people talk about, and they often say, "If I were a market maker, I would do it this way." In reality, people who have never been a market maker or haven't traded in that capacity can only talk about it casually, just like soldiers who haven't been on the battlefield can only imagine what it's like. Training and excellence only make someone an excellent soldier, but what is the difference between a market maker and a main force?
The main force is the power that dominates price movements over a period of time. It can be retail investors, market makers, project teams, exchanges, or institutions.
Market Maker: Someone who can control and influence prices, intentionally making prices move contrary to their own interests, and completely controlling the price of a coin.
Why should we have market maker thinking? It's not to eliminate them, but to follow them. Retail investors are not their opponents; instead, we follow their lead. When it comes to market maker thinking, what do we want to gain?
Actually, it's about understanding the market maker's financial strength, trading techniques, motives, as well as their cost basis for building positions. This helps us follow their buying and selling strategies and methods. Common patterns include: large bullish candles, large bearish candles, pin bars, building positions without rapid price increases, avoiding sharp declines when unloading, how active the market is, whether retail investors are unloading in a bearish trend (bull markets don't end in a bear market), and so on. When these patterns appear on the chart, we should think about these questions. It's not about what the market maker wants to do, but about what their actions indicate they are about to do next, so we can follow their lead. I will break down this logical thinking in detail during tonight's live broadcast.
