🔁 1️⃣ Final Fake Breakdown (Liquidity Sweep)
Price drops below obvious support
Retail panic sells
Large players absorb liquidity
Sharp reversal follows
This is the classic bear trap scenario.
🔼 2️⃣ Fake Breakout Before Dump
BTC pumps above resistance
Traders FOMO long
Momentum fails
Hard rejection → continuation down
This usually happens if:
Volume is weak
Funding rates flip overly bullish
No strong spot demand behind the move
📉 What Would Confirm Downtrend Is Truly Over?
For me, I’d look for:
Strong higher high + higher low structure
Daily/weekly close reclaiming major resistance
Expansion in volume (not just short squeeze)
Spot-led buying instead of leverage-driven moves
Right now, if BTC gives one more aggressive fake move, it would likely be a liquidity grab before real trend reversal.
Are you leaning more toward a final fake dum
p… or fake pump first?
