The #1 Trap That Wipes Out Traders (You've Probably Fallen For It)
That heart-pumping moment when price finally breaks resistance, only to reverse and liquidate your long.
You just got faked out.
Here’s how to spot the difference in 2 steps:
✅ REAL BREAKOUT:
Volume surges on the break
Candle closes decisively above the level
Price retests & holds as new support
❌ FAKEOUT (Liquidity Sweep):
Low volume on the spike
Long upper wick, weak close
Sharp, immediate reversal
Pro Tip: Never enter on the first touch. Wait for the 4-hour candle to close beyond the level, then watch for the retest.
Real moves confirm. Fakeouts trap. Your patience is your edge.
