How to identify long traps in trends?

In the financial market, especially the foreign exchange and stock markets, long traps, as a high-level market strategy, are often cleverly hidden in trend evolution. Its typical feature is that whether at the end of a clear upward trend or a brief pullback period in a downward trend, when the market seems to be about to break through the key resistance level, it is actually an illusion that lures traders into misguidedly.

• Trails in upward trends: In the market atmosphere that continues to rise, bull traps create breakthrough illusions to lure traders into thinking that the trend is about to accelerate upward, but in fact they lay the groundwork for the trend reversal.

• Disguise in a downward trend: In a downward channel, when the market experiences a pullback and seems to be about to break through important resistance and turns to an upward trend, the bull trap is also lurking, aiming to mislead traders to judge and induce premature buying operations.

But in fact, the long trap is not only a reflection of market volatility, but also a reflection of the competition between large participants and retail traders. It is crucial for traders to identify and circumvent such traps. We need to deal with market uncertainty through in-depth market analysis, strict stop loss settings and flexible risk management strategies to ensure steady progress in a complex and changeable trading environment.
