🐻 What Is a Bear Trap?
A bear trap happens when the price of an asset appears to break down below key support, tricking traders into shorting it, only for the price to reverse sharply upward.
🔥 Signs This Could Be Happening Now
Fake Breakdown Below Support
Price dips below a major support zone (e.g., BTC or XRP key levels).
This triggers stop-loss orders and panic selling.
Heavy Whale Accumulation
Large holders quietly buy during the dip, absorbing the sell pressure.
Recent DOGE and BTC movements to exchanges or custody wallets can be part of this.
Low Volume on Breakdown
If the “breakdown” happens on weak volume, it’s often a trap — genuine crashes usually have heavy selling pressure.
Strong Reversal Candles
Look for big green candlesticks forming after the dip — classic bear trap signature.
⚡ Why Traders Fall For It
FOMO short-sellers think “this is the start of a crash.”
Retail panic leads to over-leveraged shorts, which then get liquidated when the price rebounds.
Whales profit while everyone else gets burned.
