How I Spot Fake Breakouts Before They Trap Me đȘ€đ
Whales love fake breakouts.
They let price explode just enough to trigger your FOMO â then pull the rug.
I used to fall for these traps all the time.
Now I spot them early and stay one step ahead.
Hereâs how I avoid being whale food đđœïžđ
đș 1. Look Left Before You Look Up
Before chasing any breakout, I zoom out.
If price is breaking into an old supply zone or key resistance â I get cautious.
Whales love to trap just above obvious levels.
If I see confluence with past rejection? I wait.
đ 2. Watch Volume Like a Hawk
Breakouts without strong volume = fake.
I only trust a breakout if:
â Volume increases with the candle
â Next candle closes above the level
If itâs weak volume or wicks back into range = trap alert.
đ§ 3. Use the âBreak & Holdâ Rule
One candle above a key level? Thatâs not a breakout.
I want to see price hold above the level â retest it â and bounce.
No retest, no trade.
Whales donât mind waiting â neither do I.
đ© 4. Pay Attention to Speed
If a breakout happens too fast, I stay away.
Fast = engineered.
Real breakouts are slow, deliberate, and come after consolidation.
đ 5. Liquidity Pools Donât Lie
I use tools like Hyblock or Coinalyze to map out stop-loss zones.
When price punches into a big pool and reverses fast â it was a stop hunt, not a breakout.
Thatâs when I fade the move instead of chasing it.
đŻ Bottom line? Real breakouts feel boring.
Fake breakouts feel exciting â and thatâs the trap.
When you feel hyped⊠breathe. Step back. Let the price prove itself.
đĄ Patience over impulse. Logic over emotion.
Thatâs how I avoid getting trapped â and trade like a sniper, not a victim đŻđ§
