I HOPE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND ORDER BLOCK NOW
Let’s move to the 2nd most abused but powerful concept — Liquidity Grab.
MMs don’t move price randomly. They hunt stops, fake breakouts, and fill orders. Learn it, or be the liquidity.
What is a Liquidity Grab?
A liquidity grab is when price moves above or below key levels (support/resistance) to trigger stop-losses or lure in breakout traders only to reverse direction. This move allows big players to fill large orders by tapping into available liquidity.
1. Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL)
This is where long traders place their stop-losses, typically below swing lows or areas of support.
Examples of Sell-Side Liquidity Grabs in the Chart
May Swing Low (Marked with Orange Circle at ~$6.20):
Price dipped below a previous low, triggering stop-losses.
Immediate reversal upward shows signs of liquidity grab.
Smart money entered long positions here.
Mid-June (Second Big Orange Circle around ~$7.00):
A deeper sweep into previous demand zone (green box).
Stop hunts below this zone triggered retail panic sells, allowing whales to accumulate.
🟢 Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL)
Buy-side liquidity lies above swing highs, where short sellers place stop-losses, and breakout traders place buy orders.
Examples from Chart:
Mid-May High (~$12.06)
Clearly marked with a dark teal circle.
Price pushed above this key level briefly, triggering stop-losses of short positions and FOMO buys.
That move reversed instantly, indicating a buy-side liquidity grab and distribution by big players.
Mid-July Spike (~$10.50 area)
Price revisited previous highs (near $10.5) and rejected after tapping into resting liquidity above a consolidation.
This shows a smaller buy-side grab near resistance.
Rejection from this zone highlights lack of sustained bullish momentum.
Summary of Key Liquidity Zones:
Buy-side liquidity was hunted at $12.06 and $10.5 — both areas resulted in sharp rejections.
Sell-side liquidity was taken below swing lows (~$6.2 and ~$7) with immediate recoveries — perfect long entries.
