🧠 What is the Deceptive Wick?🤫
🤯 Today we reveal one of the smartest and most dangerous price manipulation tools:
The Deceptive Wick – The Trap Wick 🪝🕯️
A small wick appears in an instant…
Break support? Break resistance? Entry signal?
❌ None of this…
Instead, it's a perfect trap to lure in liquidity! 💰🕶️
It’s a long wick that suddenly appears on a candle, either:
• Breaks support and then returns above it
• Breaks resistance and then closes below it And the purpose? ✅ To tempt emotional traders to enter or exit… at the worst possible moment!
🎯 Why do smart money create this wick?
1 To pull hidden liquidity under supports and above resistances
2 To force the trader to enter or exit based on fear or greed
3 To liquidate leveraged positions
4 To create the illusion of “movement” without moving the actual price
🔍 How to distinguish the deceptive wick from a real break?
❌ Real break or breakout:
• Increasing volume
• Confirmation candles after the break
• Stability below/above the broken level
• The price does not return immediately
✅ Deceptive wick:
• Only one candle with a long wick
• No confirmation afterward, but a reversal
• The price returns immediately above support or below resistance
• Often appears during quiet times or before important news
🎯 The wick does not break the market… the wick only breaks the trader!
