On August 14, the core trap range for long positions in CYS/USDT is concentrated at $1.2–$1.7. The long entries at different times have very clearly layered the trapped points.
Today’s layered trapped-position distribution
Trapped range Corresponding capital type Trapped loss range Main reason
$1.6–$1.72 Short-term chasing funds that bought the highs yesterday 24%–35% On August 13, CYS touched a high of $1.7187. Large numbers of longs chased the rally above $1.6; then a one-day crash of 28% followed immediately, trapping them deep
$1.3–$1.5 Retail dip-buying funds this morning 12%–23% In the early session, price briefly rebounded to around $1.4. After the dip-buying funds entered, the market rebounded with weak volume; in the afternoon it kept weakening and they were trapped
$1.18–$1.25 Attempt funds that bought the dip this afternoon 5%–10% This portion is the final batch of longs that entered today. They are intraday, lightly-positioned funds betting on a rebound; currently they are only slightly underwater
Key current market details
✅ As of 19:25 today, the CYS spot price is around $1.11–$1.16. The overall 24-hour drop is close to 30%, almost wiping out all the rebound gains from the previous two days.
❌ Today’s market is a typical “limited existing capital vs. existing capital” standoff, with no new incremental inflows coming in to provide support. Any slight push upward will trigger trapped longs above to break even and rush to exit, creating continuous sell pressure.
1. For deeply trapped longs above $1.6, it’s unlikely they can quickly get out just via a single-day rebound in the short term—don’t blindly add to positions to average down.
2. For lightly trapped longs near $1.2, if later the market cannot quickly reclaim $1.25, it will most likely further test the $1.00 psychological support level.
