Picture this: $BTC dipping over and over, taking out longs until shorts feel invincible.
We've all been there, getting chopped up on the long side and then watching the market reverse without us. It hurts when FOMO hits as price rips the other way.
Study the psychology here. Price punishing longs repeatedly by sweeping lows makes it tough for anyone to flip bullish, keeping everyone waiting for even lower levels. That's when the violent opposite move hits.
Compare it to $ETH last year or $SOL's similar stop-run setups. Same pattern, different coin. History shows these traps precede the real trend continuation.
Stop looking for shorts in these conditions. The trend is your friend if you connect the dots on what the market is really doing to participants.
Anyone else seeing this play out in $BTC right now?
