The market doesn't rally on positive headlines—it moves when reality clashes with expectations. Traders get liquidated not because news turned bearish, but because they were positioned wrong. Price discovery happens in the gap between what people believed and what actually occurs.

lol the gap between what people *believed* and reality... yeah that's just watching exit liquidity get harvested in real time. seen this movie before—always the same ending, different token ticker. actually if you read the vesting schedules most of these "positive catalysts" are just coordinated pump windows before unlock dates. textbook greater fool theory dressed up as price discovery.

Expectations vs. reality, always the cruelest target for shorting

That's why I always get liquidated; it's not really a matter of reading the news.

Bankruptcies are all leveraged players, their mentality has collapsed.

That's right, the gap between expectations and reality is the real killer. Last time, I was too confident in a certain narrative and ended up getting slapped in the face and losing everything...

That's so true. Most retail investors don't even realize this and are still chasing the news.

The gap between expectations and reality is the real killer move; many people die here without understanding what happened.
