The Mind Games Behind Big Public Orders
Let’s talk about those massive, flashy orders you see on the order book—the ones that scream "Look at me!" Here’s the dirty little secret:
Big players WANT you to see their orders.
It’s free advertising ("This coin is hot!").
It’s psychological warfare ("If they’re buying, should I?").
It’s often a trap.
The Reality Check
Smart money hides its real moves.
The whales you don’t see are the ones to worry about.
That "huge buy wall"? Could be a bluff—canceled last second.
Viral traders aren’t fools.
Take that guy James Wynn who "lost" $100M. You really think he didn’t hedge elsewhere?
Big players never show their full hand. That "liquidation" could just be a tax write-off or distraction.
Reverse the reverse psychology.
If everyone sees a "massive buy," ask: Who benefits if retail FOMOs in?
Sometimes the play is to fade the obvious.
How to Trade This
✅ Ignore public flexes—focus on actual volume and price action.
✅ Assume every visible order has an agenda.
✅ Watch for sudden cancellations (the real tell).
