⏱️ The 5 Candle Rule: Spotting Sneaky Shakeouts on the 4H Like a Pro
→ Because in this game? It’s not just what the candles say… it’s how fast they say it, how long they linger, and what happens after they lie 😏
🔹Want to catch the trap before it reverses?
🔹Master the 5 Candle Rule on the 4H and you’ll start trading like the liquidity hunter you were born to be 💄🎯
💡 The Rule:
🔹When a coin dumps fast on high volume but fails to break lower within 5 candles (20 hours on the 4H) it’s not continuation… it’s a trap.
🔹Smart money grabs fear entries while retail thinks “lower low coming.”
✅ Candle 1-2: Panic, high volume, usually wicking below support
✅ Candle 3-4: Weak follow-through, volume drops
✅ Candle 5: No lower low? That’s accumulation, friend
🔹Bonus alpha? If RSI diverges + OBV flattens during those 5… you’re front running a reversal.
🥂 Final Whisper:
🔹Real shakeouts are short-lived.
🔹If it doesn’t break lower in 5? It’s time to load not fold 😏
🔹Trade the patience. Trade the trap.
