Have you ever noticed that the price hits your stop-loss with pinpoint accuracy and then flies in the right direction? Congratulations, you have encountered liquidity hunting.
📉 How does a retail trader think? $APT
Most of us learned from the same textbooks: "set your stop at the nearest support level." Major players (market makers) know this very well. For them, your stops are a huge amount of liquidity that allows them to open or close their gigantic positions without significant price slippage.
😂 'Anti-hamster' strategy $SUI
To stop being fodder, try to change your approach:
Look for 'Traps': If the support level looks too obvious and 'clean', there is likely a sea of stop orders hidden behind it. Wait for a breach of this level before entering.
Rule 1%: Never go all in. The market maker can push the price down longer than you can average down.
DYOR is not just letters: Keep an eye on whale activity on the blockchain. If the price is falling but large wallets continue to accumulate — this is a signal, not a reason to panic.
Golden rule: If you do not understand who the 'liquidity' is in this trade, then the liquidity is YOU.
🚀 What to do now? $CETUS
The market does not forgive greed but rewards the patient. Instead of chasing every fleeting movement, focus on strong projects with real value (Utility).
