The Market Holds Its Breath Before a Breakout: Which Way Will It Go First?

I’m sitting here, watching the charts – you can feel the tension in the air. It looks like it’s about to explode. Shorts have piled up in some dangerous spots. The market maker is rubbing their hands – they’ll play it to their advantage.

The setup is simple but always treacherous: a compressed spring. Either they’ll squeeze the bears with a sharp move up, only to slam it back down, or they’ll push it down further, finishing off the last ones standing. In moments like these, the market rarely forgives mistakes.

Manipulations are becoming too obvious. Right now, even the slightest move makes the crowd panic – either rushing to buy more or selling in fear. Any candle could be a fakeout. You need to stay calm and keep a clear head.

I can feel it – the show is about to start. The question is – who will be left holding the bag? Stay alert.
