👉 You all know the market has been extremely tough lately—low liquidity, high volatility—but I still see a lot of people jumping into “new alphas,” hoping to catch that 100x winner. No one can stop you, but I want to share something truly useful—something I’ve learned after years of watching charts bleed and then suddenly reverse.
Today is not a market update, it’s hard-earned experience.
📉 Notable pattern: Falling Wedge + fake breakout + quick (reclaim) This pattern is incredibly familiar in memes, and in reality, it’s one of the most accurate reversal signals, especially for highly volatile tokens or meme/alpha plays.
🔍 How to spot this setup: 🔸 Price keeps dropping but each new low is weaker than the last 🔸 Highs and lows get squeezed, volatility narrows over time 🔸 Overall forms a tight downward-sloping triangle 🔸 Volume tapers off toward the end of the pattern 🔸 A wick pierces the support to induce panic and trigger stop-losses 🔸 Then an immediate snap back and strong breakout candle with momentum
This setup plays on psychology: it gives people the “it’s over” feeling, then reverses so fast you can’t react in time.
🎯 Simple mindset to avoid getting “trolled” by the market: 🔸 Trap first – to flush out all panic-selling orders 🔸 Reclaim after – recover the lost support zone 🔸 Final breakout – the confirming candle for a new trend
🟢 Safest entry point? After the reclaim, not during the panic red candle that pierces support. That’s when retail gets trapped, not when experienced traders jump in.
In the end: DYOR—Understand the pattern, understand market structure, and you’ll be less likely to get swept up by the crowd’s emotions.
