Most traders who try to short the exact top of a breakout end up becoming exit liquidity for the next leg up.
Watching a token like $BTW surge over +10% triggers an instant urge to catch the reversal, but front-running momentum without clear structure confirmation is how accounts get wiped out fast.
When momentum pushes a runner into double-digit daily gains, finding an entry from the exact peak looks great in hindsight, but in real-time execution it carries massive liquidation risk. What often looks like a local top on the lower timeframes can easily consolidate and blow through resistance levels before actual exhaustion sets in. If $BTC or larger caps like $SOL show strength at the same time, trying to time a counter-trend short without volume divergence is essentially gambling on high leverage.
Are you looking to short these sudden double-digit pumps, or do you prefer waiting for structure to break first?
