Stage 1: Pump
The price rises 50–100%
Everyone is excited and buying
Whales prepare to sell
Stage 2: Trap
The price is still rising but volume is decreasing
Weak signs appear
Smart traders exit, and some expect more gains
Stage 3: Collapse
The price drops 15–20%, then collapses 30%+
Most traders are trapped, no exit
What you should do:
If you are early:
✅ Take partial profits
✅ Use a stop-loss to protect gains
If you are late:
⚠️ Use a tight stop-loss
🚪 Exit quickly on weakness
If you are waiting:
🎯 Enter only when RSI is low, volume is dry, and support is clear
Main lesson:
Do not trade based on hype.
Take profits, manage risk, follow the pattern.
