Phase 1: Pump
The price rises 50–100%
Everyone is excited and buying
Whales are preparing to sell
Phase 2: Trap

Phase 3: Collapse
The price drops 15–20%, then crashes 30%+
Most traders are stuck, no exit
What you should do:
If you're early:
✅ Take partial profits
✅ Use a stop loss to protect gains
If you're late:
⚠️ Use a tight stop loss
🚪 Exit quickly on weakness
If you're waiting:
🎯 Only enter when RSI is low, volume is dry, and support is clear
Key lesson:
Don't trade based on hype.
Take profits, manage risks, follow the pattern.
