A bull trap is one of the most costly scenarios for beginner traders. It occurs when the price breaks a resistance or gives the impression of strongly rising... before plummeting sharply. Result: those who bought the "breakout" find themselves trapped.
Why does this trap work so well?
Because it exploits psychology.
After a bearish period or consolidation, investors wait for a signal of recovery. As soon as a strong candle appears above a key level, FOMO sets in. Many enter without confirmation, thinking that "the bull run is starting." But often, this breakout lacks real volume or occurs just below a large liquidity zone.
How to recognize a bull trap?
🔎 Breakout with low volume
🔎 Quick rejection above a resistance
🔎 Significant high wick
🔎 Divergence on indicators (RSI, volume)
🔎 Still fragile macro context
Big players sometimes use these false breakouts to attract liquidity. Once buyers have entered, they sell massively, causing a rapid decline.
How to avoid the trap?
✅ Wait for confirmation (clean retest of the broken level)
✅ Observe the volume
✅ Never go all-in on a breakout
✅ Use a logical stop loss
✅ Analyze the higher timeframe before acting
A healthy bull market shows a clear structure: higher highs, higher lows, progressive volume. A bull trap, however, shows excitement followed by violent rejection.
The lesson?
The market rewards patience. The first breakout is not always the right one. It’s better to miss an opportunity than to find yourself stuck in a trap.
In trading, surviving false signals is as important as profiting from true movements.
