I've seen too many of these routines. The hype behavior after a false wedge breakout, once the market structure starts to deteriorate, the flaws become more and more obvious.

The typical script is like this: the price only needs to rise by 5%, and some influential accounts will screenshot a 50% profit, accompanied by a caption like "Told you so," then quietly close their positions to take profits. While retail investors are still celebrating, the big players have already fully exited.

The problem behind these false breakouts is that the market structure itself is unhealthy. When upward momentum comes from non-organic drivers, reversals tend to be abrupt. Next time you see such signals, it’s wise to calmly ask yourself: Is this really a breakout, or just another round of harvesting?

Here we go again, always the same routine. Taking screenshots and editing images with surgical-level precision, I just smile.

It's the same old trick again, I'm tired of it.

Old tricks are tired; I've seen this kind of play out too many times. Can screenshots really fool people? When the reversal happens, the true nature will be revealed. --- Fake breakouts are just fake breakouts; no matter how fancy the packaging, the essence doesn't change. An unhealthy market structure makes all the hype pointless. --- The most disgusting are those accounts that hype up a 5% rise and then withdraw completely. Retail investors are still dreaming; they've already left. --- As you watch, you'll realize that so-called "breakouts" are actually just preludes to harvesting. Asking yourself is pointless; you need to ask them directly. --- This kind of operation is indeed sophisticated, but once a reversal occurs, the scam is exposed. It's not organic movement; can it be good? --- It's always the same routine: they hype up a rise of a certain percentage, then retail investors buy in while the big players exit. When will this script stop repeating? --- If the market structure is rotten, don't expect any organic breakouts. As soon as I see such signals, I turn away immediately—there's nothing worth watching.

Here we go again, it's the same old routine every time. When I saw those big accounts posting screenshots, I knew it was time to get out.

It's the same old trick again, I'm really fed up with it --- I've seen through the screenshot thing long ago, a 5% increase is exaggerated to 50% --- It's always like this, the market maker runs away and retail investors take the hit, the script is completely worn out --- Non-organic promotion is a ticking time bomb, it will collapse sooner or later --- Calmly ask yourself what’s the use, you've already been harvested --- I now ignore wedge breakouts directly, nine out of ten are fake --- The market structure has been unhealthy for a long time, who can I blame?

Is it the same old story? Bragging about 50% returns with only a 5% increase, that's really impressive.

Here we go again, I'm already tired of this. It's always these few big V accounts putting on a show. This time, they'll definitely have to cut another wave.

Giving up and throwing in the towel, anyway it's all about harvesting. I've seen through it long ago, now I always counter-trade those big V's.

Coming back with this again? A 5% surge instantly turns into a 50% profit screenshot. I can memorize this move. The most outrageous part is that a bunch of people still believe it, while the pump and dump operators have already run away.

Here we go again, I've seen through this all along. Screenshot scammers are the worst; they can inflate a 5% increase into 50%, impressive.
