🧩 BIG GREEN CANDLE + QUICK REJECTION = MANIPULATION?

When you trade, you often see a big green candle that suddenly spikes... and then you think it’s going to skyrocket. But right after, a red candle with a big wick up, and the price drops immediately. It’s not a market error; it’s often manipulation.

💥 Why does this happen?

Some big players intentionally inject a lot of money to create an illusion of a pump. This attracts beginners, who buy in a panic, thinking it will continue to rise. But behind the scenes, these same players sell right away, creating a violent rejection and a rapid price drop.

🔍 What to watch for:

Don’t be fooled by a single green candle. Look at the volume: if it’s abnormally high without confirmation afterward, be cautious. Also check the market reaction in the minutes that follow. Does the price continue to rise steadily, or does it get rejected all at once? That’s when you see if it’s a real movement or a trap.

🧠 How to react?

👉 Don’t rush headfirst at the first green candle.

👉 Wait for the price to stabilize or truly break a key level.

👉 Take the time to analyze the market structure and the liquidity zones around.

⚠️ This kind of manipulation is very common on 5min, 15min charts, but you can also see it on H1 or H4. The smaller the timeframe, the more frequent the traps. That’s why patience and confirmation are your best weapons.

💡 Remember well: just because it’s rising fast doesn’t mean it’s reliable. Professionals always wait for a test or confirmation. Beginners, on the other hand, jump in… and get trapped.
