Watch any experienced trader's screen during a major breakout and you'll see something that baffles beginners-they're not buying the explosive move everyone else is chasing, they're preparing to short it. While retail traders pile into what looks like the start of a powerful trend, professional traders are recognizing the setup for what it really is: an acceleration trap designed to generate liquidity for institutional exits. You've probably been caught in these traps dozens of times, buying breakouts that immediately reverse and stop you out at a loss, wondering why the "obvious" trade failed so predictably. The frustrating reality is that most breakouts are deliberately engineered false moves that trap retail traders on the wrong side while institutions profit from the reversal, and without the right indicators to reveal these traps before they spring, you're destined to keep falling for the same pattern.
