The pattern is becoming clearer if you look at what's actually happening beneath the surface. Price keeps grinding into the same resistance zone, and the narrative spreads—this thing has to break down, right? Shorts stack up on that assumption, convinced lower levels are inevitable.
But here's what's different now: the selling pressure isn't picking up steam. Every attempt to push lower gets soaked up faster than before. The bounces are sharper. The pullbacks are getting softer.
That's the trap. Late sellers are watching for confirmation of breakdown that never arrives, while the structure quietly shifts from distribution into accumulation. The market absorbs their panic, and they exit exactly where they shouldn't.

ngl this is the classic liquidity trap pattern—shorts getting liquidated at the resistance while late sellers panic exit. the orderbook structure says accumulation but most retail still waiting for that breakdown that's never coming. empirically speaking, volume profile shows buying pressure actually accelerating beneath surface noise

Short positions piling up, bottom-fishing for accumulation... How many times has this routine been played? FET has really caught a lot of people's orders this time.

Brothers, this round of FET is really a classic move. The bears thought it was going to drop, but they got absorbed instead. LOL

The bears are stacked in the same position, and they got trapped. This is the charm of the market...

The shorts should really take a look at this wave of movement. The accumulation tactics are becoming more and more obvious, while retail investors are still waiting for a breakdown.
