Bull traps are individuals or groups who manipulate a cryptocurrency‘s price in order to show specific market signals to trick unsuspecting buyers. Bull traps typically display a long-term downtrend pattern, which leads to a reversal and displays signs of a recovery in order to lure unsuspecting traders into buying and setting up long positions. Then, the trappers profit by causing the trend to fail after selling off the cryptocurrency.
Traders should be cautious of sharp movements on a cryptocurrency’s price chart, as these sharp movements may represent indicators of deception. Therefore, understanding technical analysis is essential when making trades, as it can help a trader identify traps and other suspicious movements on a chart.
