A bull trap looks like a bull run, then fails.
A bull trap is a rise that invites late longs and then gives the move back. It looks like the start of a crypto bull run. It is the trade that catches people who needed the rise to be real. At FxPro a crypto CFD, if your entity lists it, will follow that failure as readily as it follows a real rise. This page, 4 October 2026, does not say a trap is happening. It says how to avoid paying for one.
How the trap is built
Price breaks a prior high. Screenshots circulate. Size goes on. The next dip does not get bought, and the break fails. Late longs are the inventory. On a CFD they are also the margin calls.
A real bull run has dips too. The difference shows up after the dip: buyers return, or they do not. You do not know which, at the moment of the break.
Do not pay for the screenshot
Write the exit at the level that proves the break failed. Size so that exit is a small loss. If you need the break to be 'the bull run' in order for the trade to make sense, skip it.
Check the symbol. Rehearse the failure on the demo, not only the winner. Scalping notes: scalping.
The attempt, stated plainly
You can try to make money when a crypto tape is rising. A CFD is the tool on this desk. A trap is why the same tool takes the money back. The page sells the attempt and shows the failure. It does not sell a result.
The failed break, rehearsed
Mark the prior high. Assume the break can fail. Put the exit back inside the old range, and size the loss so it is dull. Then, and only then, you may buy the break. If the dip is bought and highs resume, you are in a bull run attempt. If it is not bought, you are out, and the screenshot can keep circulating without you.
Rehearse the failure on demo before you rehearse the winner. Everyone rehearses the winner.
