Why does the price always take off right after you sell at a loss?

A price wick is when the price suddenly plunges and then quickly rebounds, leaving a needle-like line on the candlestick chart. It’s also often called a “shakeout” or a “false breakout.”

$FLOCK is up more than 20% today, and coins like this are especially prone to price wicks. Its price is currently 0.04444 USDT. Market manipulators may deliberately push the price down to trigger stop-loss orders and create panic, then accumulate coins at a lower price before driving it back up.

Sometimes it’s caused by algorithmic trading on an exchange; it could also be large investors testing the market’s reaction. It’s like someone suddenly shouting “Everything’s on sale!” at a market—by the time you rush over, the prices have gone back up.

Beginners can panic when they see a price wick and make rash decisions, only to get caught out. Remember: when market sentiment is volatile, stay calm and think things through instead of letting short-term price swings sway you. Be especially careful with risk management when trading futures, and leave yourself some room to maneuver.
