Yesterday, while we were having tea at the shop, Red Pants brought up a client she’d just landed.
The boss is in the chicken feet business. These days, everyone in the industry is competing on e-commerce and waging price wars—it’s become cutthroat. Red Pants said this boss has a pretty unconventional approach: if someone gives him a low quote, he rejects it without even looking at it.
I asked, “Isn’t it a good thing if it’s cheaper?”
Red Pants said the boss’s exact words were: “If there’s no profit in it for you, why would anyone take on this business? How can you guarantee consistent quality in the long run?” So he went about it the other way around, deliberately contacting the people who quoted higher prices. He figured that if they dared to charge more, there must be a reason.
Red Pants remarked, “It’s just like those ultra-luxury brands in Hisense Plaza.”
I said, “There really aren’t many people browsing inside. It’s practically deserted.”
She said, “But the people who go in to shop try on clothes and make a purchase within ten minutes. Rich people don’t need value for money—they want certainty.”
A friend nearby chimed in, “The owner has a hunter’s instinct.” I asked what he meant.
He said there are two kinds of sensitivity in this world: one is prey-like sensitivity, like an antelope drinking by the river that bolts at the slightest rustle, always watching the expressions of those above it; the other is hunter-like sensitivity, able to see through the core logic of the whole situation at a glance, undisturbed by minor fluctuations because it has a sense of control.
Let’s bring our attention back to the ETH market right now. With the price hovering at this neither-here-nor-there level of 2720, many people are as tense as that antelope at the water’s edge. The price creeps up a dozen or so dollars, and they’re convinced it’s about to break out, rushing in with a roar; it dips a little, and they think the sky is falling, scrambling to cut their losses.
The big players have left a heavy double layer of selling pressure in the 2740–2780 area above. This wide range is like a cage: until the price touches the upper boundary of that resistance, every move in between is just a way to repeatedly test the market and wear down your patience.
If you really want certainty, you have to be like that picky business owner from Guangxi: give up the seemingly tempting mid-range price and patiently wait for the prey to wander into the most dangerous part of the range on its own.
When those terrified of missing out rush in frantically, only to find they can’t push the price higher, that’s when a false breakout above the range finally gives you the real moment to act.
