When futures open, that initial spike is just noise—what really tells the story is the candle that forms after the volume settles. You get the flash moves when volume floods in, sure. But genuine direction? That only reveals itself once the chaos fades and real price discovery kicks in. The first move is often a trap. The second one is the truth.

The first candle is always a scam; I've figured that out long ago.

nah this is literally just "the first pump is fake, the second one hits different" thesis but peer-reviewed fr. the statistical significance of ignoring opening candles vs waiting for volume normalization is honestly *chef's kiss* from a behavioral econ standpoint

The first candle? That's just a trick used by the big players to scare retail investors.

here's the thing about—the first candle is basically crypto twitter's favorite lie, everyone's fomo-ing into that noise while the actual move hasn't even happened yet lmao

The first candlestick is a bait; this statement really hits home.

The second candlestick is always the king, and the first one is just a bait.
