More than 80% of retail traders buy right at the peak of relief rallies, mistaking a brief pause in a downtrend for a trend reversal.

We have all felt that sudden rush of hope when a beaten-down token starts pumping, only to buy the top and watch it immediately dump. It is the classic trap of chasing green candles without looking at the larger market structure.

Take the recent 7% rebound we saw in $PI. It looks promising on the hourly chart, but veteran traders know that minor pumps in a macro downtrend are usually just distribution phases. During past cycles, we saw this play out repeatedly with major assets like $BTC where temporary relief rallies lured in buyers before the next leg down.

The hard truth is that sellers still control the market here. Until $PI actually reclaims key resistance levels with sustained buying volume, any upward move is just a gift for bears looking to exit their positions at a higher price. Price action is temporary noise, but market structure is the real signal you need to watch.

How do you distinguish a genuine trend reversal from a temporary relief rally in this market?
