First — about $OM
If someone lost that much money, it was almost certainly due to leverage + whale-driven candles:
Sudden vertical moves
Huge wicks both sides
Fake breakdowns / fake breakouts
Liquidity hunts designed to wipe longs and shorts
That’s not “bad luck” — that’s market structure + whales.

Now about $PIPPIN
If $PIPPIN is printing similar candles, it usually means: 🐳 Large players are active
Wide range candles
Fast reversals
No clean follow-through
Trapping traders emotionally
This does NOT automatically mean: ❌ It will crash like $OM
❌ It is a scam
But it DOES mean: ⚠️ It is dangerous to trade emotionally ⚠️ High leverage = high liquidation risk ⚠️ Retail traders become exit liquidity

The real lesson your friend learned (the hard way)
🔑 Whales don’t predict — they create moves 🔑 When candles look “unnatural”, the goal is usually liquidity, not trend 🔑 Futures + hype + FOMO = account killer
---
What to do when you see OM-type candles again
✅ Reduce position size
✅ Avoid high leverage (or avoid futures completely — like you already said 😉)
✅ If spot: think in time, not candles
✅ Never chase green candles
✅ Protect capital first — profit comes later
