Have you ever wondered why every time you open a position, the market cools down, and when you stop-loss, prices spike? Actually, it’s not bad luck; the problem lies in understanding the market manipulation rhythm.

Large funds in the market employ a fairly sophisticated set of tactics, which we can call the "Triple Trap." These routines cycle repeatedly, harvesting entry funds layer after layer.

**Step 1: Sudden Surge to Induce FOMO**

A sudden large bullish candle appears, and social media and various comments turn bullish. You think "The trend is moving," and impulsively follow the rally. But in reality, this is a trap set by the big players—they’ve already prepared to sell when you take over.

**Step 2: Dump to Shake Out Holdings, Trigger Stop-Losses**

Next, a large bearish candle appears, breaking support levels. The chain reaction causes stop-loss orders to explode, and panic selling ensues. Most people think "This time it’s really going down," and hurriedly cut losses and exit. But at this point, the big players quietly sweep up at low prices, buying retail traders’ chips cheaply.

**Step 3: Reverse and Push Higher, Retail Misses Out**

After you’ve sold off, the big players turn around and push prices higher, causing a sudden surge. You’re left on the sidelines regretful, or chasing the top and becoming the last to take the bait.

This process repeatedly proves effective because it precisely hits human nature—greed, fear, and following the herd. Retail traders often make decisions driven by emotion, while large funds calmly execute their plans.

To break this cycle, the key is not luck or "insider info," but training yourself to see through the market psychology behind these routines, and maintaining rationality at humanity’s weakest moments. Only then can you shift from a passive participant to an independent, discerning trader.
