im watching these runs but they dont feel like pump and dumps from few years ago anymore. they feel more like company trapping people into losing positions(paying chatroom pumpers to pump and then crash to trap) pump and dumps usually dont crash continuously back to original price. they have pullbacks from people trying to swim back to surface.etc these are just solid crash without any possibility of escape. a trap to created hodlers for whatever move the company is planning in next few days example FGL today (06/17) premarket trap. this is not the only instance i saw. there were many others in past few months that ive seen do exactly same thing.which is different from pump and dump charts i ve seen from the elite level shit stocks like DPW (GPUS) unless im wrong and something else is going on there like shorts (i dont know how to tell what shorts are doing) tried many times to understand short actions in the market but still cant process their moves..
if i was a scam company i would. its only a matter of time before trash stocks would figure out that they can use chatroom pumpers..
You've made arguments for "Price TA... Trade what you see... KISS, baby". IOW... you don't get to know "who is doing what", or "why they're doing it"... all you get to know is WHAT they're doing... and that's all in the charts.
FGL There is no trap at all. FGL supposed to go down. Indeed it went down. On 17 Jun 2025, when the market opened, millions of investors/traders dumped FGL within a few seconds. There are thousands of traps; bull trap, bear trap, whale trap, shark trap, sharp trap.... But the most dangerous trap is the max trap. Go spend at least 30 years to learn how to avoid those traps. Anyway, over the next 30 years, focus on the chart; uptrend - press buy then sell downtrend - press sell then buy notrend / untrend / trendless - don't press anything!!!! Also in trading, cannot be slow. Don't miss the boat. eg don't short FGL now! You could have shorted it months ago! Then rejoice.
Something major happened on 4 Dec 2024. (see massive volume on that day). Another major event happened on 17 Jun 2025. Those who shorted it on end of that day @$3 should be very happy. Now it is at $0.80 There was no trap. There was a great trading opportunity.
