1 What is this Strategy?

Bull Trap Scanner detects stocks over 95% of their peak BUT down more than 2% today. This is a classic "bull trap" formation—the stock near the peak was rejected and selling pressure started. Could be a short position or profit-taking signal.

Raise proximity to 98% to see exact peak rejections.

5 Real-World Scenario

CRM (Salesforce) reached 97% of its peak but fell 3.5% today with 5M volume. Classic peak rejection—bull trap active.

6 Risks & Warnings

Not every peak rejection is a permanent reversal—could be a temporary correction.
Short selling carries unlimited loss risk—stop-loss mandatory.
Drops after an earnings announcement have different dynamics—check the news.
