Trap in the direction of the trend is a logical setup.
For the trend filter, we will use 20 Column Moving Average (MA)
I have written a detailed thread on MAs. If you want to read it

Traps work on the Options Chart as well. Let us observe the Option Charts from the seller's perspective.
So, we are looking at Bull Trap below 20 Column SMA on 1% and 1-min Options chart
Let us see some examples on the NIFTY & NIFTY BANK Options chart

If the price reverses immediately after Bear Trap and generates DBS, then the pattern fails
If the price reverses immediately after Bull Trap and generates DTB, then the pattern fails

Summary
1. Traps work best in the direction of Trend
2. 20-Column SMA should be used as a trend filter
3. Price above SMA = Bear Trap
4. Price below SMA = Bull Trap
