📉 I Don’t Short Pumps. I Short Weakness After the Pump
A pump by itself is not a short signal.
It is only the reason to open the checklist.
Most traders see +20%, short the top, and get squeezed on the next push.
That is not how I want to trade it.
The cleaner short usually comes after the first impulse, on the pullback, when the market shows weakness instead of continuation.
I want to see the pump cool down, buyers fail to defend the move, volume fade, and structure start breaking.
My checklist: open interest, funding, premium index, liquidations, volume, spot support, and market structure.
If open interest is inflated, funding is aggressive, futures are leading spot, and the price cannot continue after the squeeze, the pump starts looking like exit liquidity.
That is where the trade becomes interesting.
Crypto Resources bot users have already closed millions in pump-short trades, from small moves to large dislocations.
So yes, I know exactly what this setup looks like.
I do not short the peak.
I short the failed continuation, the weak bounce, the broken structure, and the moment when late buyers realize the move is no longer being supported. ⚙️
