Inside bars during an uptrend can be a real trap for traders.

When price action tightens into a narrow range, you get wicks poking both directions—long and short positions alike get liquidated. The whole pattern often looks bearish at first glance, suggesting distribution is happening.

But here's the thing: most of the time it's just the market loading before the next leg up. The trend remains your friend until something fundamentally shifts.

The key? Don't panic-trade these formations. Inside bars are compression phases. Volatility gets squeezed, breakouts come later. Whether we're talking about $SPSC or any other asset in an uptrend, the rules stay the same.

Stay patient, watch the structure. The opportunity usually arrives once the range finally breaks.
