Why are projects like $LIT$ prone to decline? To put it simply, I can judge the general trend just by looking at the market data. Although there are still people shouting bullish on the square, the risks are already very obvious.



The key issue lies in the token distribution structure of the project. For top-tier projects, the airdrop proportion is often huge. What does this mean? A large amount of tokens flow into retail investors' hands. Ideally, after the airdrop is completed, strong funds should step in to push the price up, and retail investors can follow the trend. But in reality—once the news is released, the token price remains stagnant or even begins to weaken. At this point, retail investors' psychological defenses collapse.

No one would be foolish enough to hold on stubbornly. Retail investors only have one thought: get out quickly. Those who sell early can still make a little profit, while those who sell later become the bagholders. Once it starts, it’s a typical stampede-style decline, creating a vicious cycle. This is not a technical issue; it’s a psychological game and the harsh reality of the capital market.

Airdrop whales are everywhere, but the real problem is when no one is willing to buy in. I've seen too many such scenarios. If I had known it would end like this, I might as well have gone all-in on a Staking project. It's true that retail investors' psychological defenses are fragile—one limit-down and they all run away. Not many posts analyze market structure seriously, but this one is pretty good.

Airdrop whales cut retail investors, always the truth. Waiting for big funds to finish selling before you can get on board. This move is just another routine, wake up everyone. The distribution structure clearly shows who the leeks are. If your mentality collapses, you can only admit defeat, there's nothing you can do. A typical "announce first, then cut" pattern, old trick. When the capital situation is directly confrontational, retail investors have no chance. Seeing a large proportion of airdrops, you should run—lessons learned.

Airdrop dumping this script I’ve been burned by before. When RSI enters the overbought zone, it’s time to run. Don’t wait for the stampede to start. --- The moment the upper band of the Bollinger Bands breaks, you should stop. Retail investors’ psychological defenses are indeed that fragile. --- If there’s no strong capital backing the launch window, it’s a false breakout. Make sure your escape speed is calculated properly. --- That’s why I just pass when the airdrop ratio exceeds 50%. I can’t afford to lose the psychological game. --- The disconnect between news and capital has been too long. It’s visible on the charts; no need to wait for death. --- A typical gravity pullback turned into a free fall. It should have been stopped at the neckline. --- The root cause of LIT’s problem is ultimately lack of fuel. Retail investors get sucked in as bagholders, which is very common. --- Those who run first survive; those who run later are cannon fodder. It’s a matter of probability, not luck.

The moment of airdrop was the time to run; retail investors' mentality, to put it simply, is greed. --- It's the same old story—once the Bitcoin distribution fails, the game is over. --- Psychological breakdown is indeed deadly; without funds to cover, everything else is pointless. --- Look carefully—those who run first are always the smart ones. --- Even top-tier projects can't save bad distributions; that's just fate. --- A typical weed-cutting scheme—retail investors will never learn.

Once the airdrop is over, no one pulls, retail investors run the fastest, who can be blamed. --- It's the same old story, large-scale airdrops mean a warning of dumping. --- I've seen it long ago, the mental defense line is spot on. --- $LIT is a textbook-level stampede case, anyone who touches it loses. --- The harsh reality of funds, honestly, no matter how much bullish calls you make, it's useless. --- The fate of retail investors is always choosing between fleeing early and taking the hit. --- Projects with small market caps are like this—once the news is out, they peak. --- Isn't this just a classic airdrop trap? Still need analysis. --- When a top-tier project has a big airdrop, be cautious, there's really no problem with that. --- If strong funds can't keep up, then there's only one way out.
