Most traders are eyeing that textbook gap-up parabolic move in metals—the crowded trade everyone's waiting for. But here's the thing: what if it fizzles? What if we look back in a week and realize the real edge was that failed follow-through setup we saw earlier? That's the trade nobody wants to talk about because it's not shiny 🙏
The market loves humbling people who chase the obvious move. Sometimes the V-bounce gets all the attention, but the setup that actually printed was the one half the retail crowd missed because they were too busy waiting for the next leg up.
Obviously, I'm ready to flip if metals show another textbook V-shape. Adapting to price action beats being married to any single thesis.

Just waiting to see if metals have any further momentum. It feels like the real profit opportunity was in the bottom-fishing wave.

Alright, that's why I never chase those shiny obvious trades. Ambushing retail investors who miss out is the real way to survive.

nah tbh the obvious parabolic always gets liquidated first... seen this movie too many times with failed follow-throughs that print harder than the shiny move everyone's chasing

actually, let me break this down—everyone's chasing the *obvious* parabolic because that's what the narrative sells, but the real edge? it's always in what most people *miss* while staring at the shiny setup. classic behavioral economics at play here, ceteris paribus the crowd gets liquidated
