🌙📉 WEEKEND TRADING IN CRYPTO: WHAT YOU DON’T SEE CAN HURT YOU

🟡 Crypto never sleeps — but that’s not always a good thing.

Weekends bring low liquidity, unpredictable price moves, and a playground for market makers and institutional traders.

If you’re not careful, you’re not trading — you’re being traded against.

🔻 WHY WEEKENDS ARE RISKIER

📉 Thin Order Books

Less volume

Wider spreads

Easier to push price with small capital

📊 Retail Dominates, Pros Exploit

Institutions reduce exposure

Retail traders become liquidity targets

🧠 Emotions > Strategy

FOMO and fear run high

Perfect setup for manipulation

🎯 HOW MARKET MAKERS & INSTITUTIONS MANIPULATE WEEKENDS

🔹 Stop-Loss Hunting: Sudden spikes or dumps to liquidate retail
🔹 False Breakouts: Price pushes just beyond key levels, then reverses
🔹 Liquidity Sweeps: Draw price into zones with trapped volume

These aren’t accidents — they’re tactics.

🚨 REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

Ever seen this?

🔸 Price breaks resistance on Saturday
🔸 Retail piles in
🔸 Sudden Sunday sell-off
🔸 Price resets by Monday morning

That’s not volatility — that’s strategy.

🛡️ SMART WEEKEND TRADING RULES

✅ Lower position sizing
✅ Wider stop-loss (or none at all)
✅ Avoid overtrading
✅ Zoom out — focus on structure, not noise
✅ Or simply: sit it out and wait for Monday

📌 FINAL WORD

Weekend volatility isn’t always opportunity — it’s often a trap set by those who understand liquidity better than you do.

Trade less. Think more. Protect your edge.
