The Weekly Trap You’re Not Seeing (And Why That’s a Problem) (3/4)

Let’s get something straight.

You’re not in a bull market.

You’re in a liquidity game disguised as a bull market.

And right now, the game is setting up one of its favorite tricks:

The weekly trap.

📉 What the Chart is Really Saying

Let’s walk through the BTC weekly.

A few weeks ago, we saw a breakout above the previous ATH.

Sentiment exploded. “100k next!” filled the timeline.
Everyone thought we were in escape velocity mode.

But look closer.

What followed wasn’t strength—it was weakness in disguise:

• Price pushed higher but on declining weekly volume

• Momentum (weekly RSI, MACD) started to roll over

• And while price made a higher high… momentum didn’t
  → That’s your first signal: bearish divergence

Then came the selloff.

Where did it land?

Right back at the origin of the breakout.
76k.

Sound familiar?

Yeah. We called that.

Now here’s the critical part…

🧠 This Is the Trap Zone

Most people see a drop from 73k → 61k and panic.

Smart money sees a trap forming.

Because this isn’t just a random dump. It’s a retest of structure.

Pull up the weekly chart.

You'll see:

• Previous highs (from March 2024)? ✅ Retested.

• Low volume on the move down? ✅ Classic trap signal.

• First signs of bullish divergence on 4h + daily? ✅ Early accumulation.

• Price consolidating in a tight range near major support? ✅ Base forming.

The weekly Stoch RSI? Oversold.

MACD? Losing downside momentum.

Price? Holding above weekly demand.

This is not the time to freak out.

This is the time to watch. Wait. Load.

🪤 How the Trap Works

The market is trying to shake you out of a winning position.

That’s how traps are engineered.

Here’s the playbook:

1. Push price up → generate FOMO → get retail long

2. Pull price down → break confidence → stop out late longs

3. Consolidate near support → exhaust shorts → fake breakdowns

4. Reclaim key level → force short covering → trigger next leg

It’s evil. It’s beautiful. It’s crypto.

And if you’re not reading the map—you’re bait.

🧪 Want a Real Example?

Check BTC from late 2020 into early 2021.

We broke above the 2017 ATH. Everyone aped in.
Price pulled back to retest the 20k zone. Chopped around.

Same bearish divergences.
Same reset in momentum.
Same trap structure.

What happened next?

The breakout to 42k. Then 64k. Then 69k.

This is that—but bigger.

📍 Structure Is Everything

Here’s what you need to know now:

• If BTC holds 70k–72k on weekly closes → bullish structure intact

• If bullish divergence confirms on daily → early signal for reversal

• If volume kicks in on reclaim → confirmation of smart money stepping in

• If SP500 breaks further down, we adjust—because BTC lags equities

You need to be tracking:

✅ Weekly closes
✅ Volume spikes
✅ Divergence confirmation
✅ VIX and DXY for macro risk-on/off signals
✅ Stablecoin flows across exchanges

This isn’t just about Bitcoin anymore.

It’s about learning how to spot setups before they’re obvious.
