Everyone thinks catching the breakout candle is the easiest way to make money, but actually you are usually just funding exit liquidity for someone who entered three days ago.
Most retail traders see a massive green impulse, slam market buy at the local peak out of sheer fomo, and end up holding a bag the second a nasty upper wick prints. Getting chopped up while chasing pumps is how 90% of accounts bleed out before the real trend even starts.
Take a look at what top pnl accounts do over a rolling 30-day window. While the crowd gets euphoric over every 5-minute surge on $SOL or $BTC, smart money is systematically taking profits into that exact buy pressure. That sudden wick to the upside isn't bad luck, ser, it is aggressive limit sell orders eating every bit of your market buy order in seconds.
Ngl watching price spike only to close flat thirty minutes later hurts, but chasing extended setups without waiting for a retest is pure liquidation bait. If you want to survive these chop regimes on $ETH, you have to stop buying the top of candles and start bidding the quiet pullbacks instead.
How often do you find yourself getting trapped by these fakeout wicks before realizing what happened?
