The market fluctuations in the past week have caused many to suffer losses. Let's review how those seemingly confident signals have evolved into losses.

Industry influencers' opinions are indeed startling — TOM LEE claimed that market liquidity has fully flowed back into Ethereum, signaling the start of a bull market; at the same time, a well-known analyst confidently stated that the bottom has been formed and a full bullish signal has appeared. Additionally, top global investment institutions have opened up purchasing rights for Bitcoin and Ethereum. When this information surfaced, it was like giving the market a shot of adrenaline.

Looking at the candlestick charts, Ethereum broke through the existing trendline and also surpassed previous highs, forming a classic double bottom breakout pattern with a target of 3700. Everything seemed to unfold according to textbook-like patterns.

But reality is often more painful — even after breaking through the trendline and surpassing previous highs, many still got caught. The reason is simple: someone realized that Bitcoin is the true director of this show; the movements of other coins ultimately depend on BTC's lead. Blindly following these signals while ignoring the core logic of the market often results in a very unpretty final bill.
