everyone thinks sudden 40% pumps mean altseason is officially back, but actually it is usually just late liquidity chasing yesterday's news.
most traders see a massive green candle, panic buy right at local resistance with full leverage, and end up holding heavy bags when market makers decide to take profit.
we have seen this exact playbook play out with
$XRP so many times before ser. price rips violently on headline momentum while spot volume stays relatively thin compared to perpetuals open interest. funding rates flip massively positive in minutes, creating the perfect setup for a brutal long squeeze back to range lows.
ngl greed is creeping up across the board while rotation plays into names like
$ONDO and
$CATI are getting crowded. when spot volume does not back up the derivative leverage on
$XRP , chasing pumps usually just means you are donating exit liquidity to whales who accumulated weeks ago.
how are you playing this move, taking profit or waiting for a pullback?
