🚨 $BTC Manipulation & Fake Moves (Chart Explained)
Look at this BTC chart carefully 👀
Most traders lose inside these traps ⬇️
1️⃣ Long Wicks = Stop Hunts
See the tall wicks above & below candles?
👉 Stops triggered
👉 Liquidity taken
👉 Price snaps back
That’s not a move — that’s manipulation.
2️⃣ Break → Fail → Return = Fake Breakout
Price breaks a level
❌ Can’t hold on candle close
❌ Comes back inside range
Retail buys the break.
Smart money fades it.
3️⃣ Flat Moving Averages = Chop Zone
MA25 & MA100 are flat and tangled
📌 No trend
📌 Fake signals everywhere
Real trends = angled MAs + clean pullbacks.
4️⃣ Slow Candles After Spike = Distribution
Fast pump → slow candles → wicks
👉 Big players offloading
👉 Late buyers trapped
5️⃣ Range = Manipulation Zone
Most of this chart = sideways range
Inside ranges:
breakouts fail
wicks dominate
patience wins
Trade edges, not the middle.
🧠 Anti-Trap Checklist
Before entering any trade:
✔ Candle close confirmed?
✔ Volume expanded?
✔ MA angled, not flat?
✔ No huge wick against you?
If 2 answers = NO → SKIP
📉 First move traps you.
Second move pays you.
