#BullTrapAlert A sudden pump followed by a sharp drop—what many call a “bull trap”—is indeed a known tactic in both traditional and crypto markets. Here's how to assess whether the recent surge in crypto was a trap:

1. Was It a Trap?

Possibly Yes:$BTC

BTC
BTCUSDT
90,444.2
+0.03%

Bitcoin recently hit a record high ($108K). This type of movement can lure retail investors in at the top before a sell-off by whales (large holders).

But Not Clearly a Trap: There are strong fundamentals too:

Institutional buying (like $ETH

ETH
ETHUSDT
3,119.81
+1.61%

ETFs and strategic reserves).

Regulatory clarity from the U.S.

Long-term projections still bullish for 2025.
