Most retail traders see a massive green candle and rush to buy the top, completely missing that the smartest money in the room is already hitting the exit button.
We have all been there, watching a coin go vertical, jumping in out of pure FOMO, and immediately watching the position bleed out. Chasing flashy leaderboard gains without understanding order flow usually just turns you into someone else's exit liquidity.
Take a look at the price action on $S after it exploded 60% in a single 24-hour window. Top perp traders were sitting on massive winning positions, with some locking in over 37,250 in $USDT profit on closed longs. But the moment those heavy positions took profit, the token dropped over 13.35% almost instantly.
When high-leverage players close five-figure longs on $SUSDT, they have to sell directly into aggressive market demand. That wave of sell pressure quickly overwhelms late buyers who assumed the pump would continue forever. If you are opening fresh longs after a parabolic run instead of managing downside, you are essentially trading against calculated distribution.
How do you usually protect your capital when a runner starts showing signs of exhaustion?
