The red candle is already the end of the story.
A real rug can start much earlier.
15 new wallets, if we believe the source, accumulated 224.5M $XAUT and later sold everything for 3,178 $SOL
Entry cost — about $18.6K.
Exit — about $330K.
And this is where I wouldn’t get fixated on a pretty 17x.
Something else is more important: information asymmetry.
An ordinary trader sees rising volume and starts FOMO.
Meanwhile, a large holder may already be thinking only about where to unload the position.
So volume without context is just a number.
Who creates the volume?
Who controls liquidity?
And who will be left with tokens when the music stops?
These are the questions I would ask before buying a beautiful candle.
