Possible Butterfly Bull Trap in SMCI
Updated
The classic bull trap pattern comes when we have an initial sell off. Some sort of retracement of that and then a failure to make a new high forming a capitulation pattern.
Everyone knows this pattern, it's the classic "Return to Normal" in the bubble template.
However, we also have modified versions of bull traps that make new highs. While this seems paradoxical, what better place is there to trap bulls than ATH?
When this patterns forms it's most often expressed as a butterfly top. There's the initial drop. A false continuation of the classic bull trap and then a spike high.
This forms a "W" pattern with the spike high usually ending in the 1.61 - 2.20 zone.
This is something we commonly find at the end of big uptrends.

Note
SMCI down 20% off the butterfly.Note
Make or break level for the SMCI uptrend I think. if we make a break here I think that's going to signify the end of the uptrend for the foreseeable future.
Stops trailed here. Max risk area for bears, but very good for them if it breaks.
