Today's market moves tell you everything about how sophisticated players operate. By the time retail traders are discussing whether to jump in, the big money has already taken their profits and moved on. It's the classic game—those who move first always have the advantage. The pattern repeats every cycle: whales accumulate quietly, retail gets hyped and chases, then institutions exit before the narrative shifts. Understanding this timing gap is basically understanding how markets work.

That's right, but the problem is how can we retail investors bridge this time gap, really.

This wave got cut again. It's always the same, and by the time I realize it, it's already too late.
