The Real Game of the Market Secrets of Limit Orders in Spot
Most traders focus on the Futures order book, thinking that’s where the real market moves happen. But the truth is: the real control lies in the Spot Market limit orders. Futures limit orders are mostly leverage-based, but the real price control and liquidation triggers come directly from Spot.
How Limit Orders Influence Price Fluctuations
Example: SOL’s price is $181, yet you suddenly see a $3M sell limit order at $350 in the Spot order book. The trader placing that order isn’t blind — he knows the current price. Two minutes later, the same order disappears, and suddenly a buy limit at $97 appears, while the price is still $181.
📌 The goal isn’t to actually buy or sell — it’s to manipulate price movement and trigger liquidations in Futures.
The Auto Demand-Supply System
Exchanges have an automated demand-supply system that places large limit orders in areas the price hasn’t touched for months. These orders appear and disappear every couple of minutes, creating artificial pressure on the market.
From $50M to $10M How It Works
You might see the sell side drop from $50M in volume to $0, and within minutes, it’s back to $10M+ again. This is manufactured demand — orders appear without the intention of execution, purely to shift sentiment and control the market structure.
Why Spot Matters More Than Futures
Spot limit orders set the real supply and demand zones.
Futures order book is 99% leverage positions — these are reactive, not controlling.
The liquidation “buttons” for Futures are pressed from Spot market activity.
Extra Insight for Pro Traders
Always watch the Spot limit order book for sudden large walls far from the current price — they’re often signals of planned market moves.
Repeated placing and removing of large orders at the same zone is a sign of price preparation.
Fake walls = market manipulation strategy.
This is not financial advice, but understanding this can help you avoid falling into liquidation traps.
Conclusion:
If you truly want to understand the market’s hidden hand, study the Spot limit order book — not just Futures. That’s where demand and supply are artificially created to move prices and liquidate over-leveraged traders.
