🕵️♂️ Liquidity: How Smart Money Exploits Retail Traders
💡 Liquidity = Opportunity for Smart Money
Retail enters long → stops below swing low
Price dips → sweeps stop-losses → large player enters
Price reverses → retail is out, smart money is in
This is called a liquidity grab or stop run.
🔍 What Liquidity Actually Looks Like
Clusters of stop orders below support or above resistance
Binance Futures liquidation zones
Imbalanced order books with hidden buy/sell walls
Low-volume fakeouts used to trigger stops
🎯 How to Avoid Getting Hunted
✅ Don’t place stops at obvious swing highs/lows
✅ Study liquidity heatmaps (Tensorcharts, Hyblock)
✅ Wait for reclaim after the sweep that’s your edge
✅ Trade with the reaction, not the trap
