The ‘Liquidity Hunt’ Trick That Explains 80% of Market Pumps & Dumps 💡💥
Have you ever wondered why the market suddenly spikes up before dumping… or dips hard before mooning?
It’s not random — it’s a game called Liquidity Hunting.
🚀 What is Liquidity Hunting?
Big players (a.k.a whales & market makers) push the price to zones where most traders have their stop-loss orders.
Once those stops trigger, huge buy/sell orders flood in — giving whales the liquidity they need to enter their real positions.
📈 Example:
• BTC trades sideways near $60,000
• Many retail traders set SLs just below $59,800
• Whales dump price to $59,750 → stops trigger → liquidity released
• Price then reverses & pumps — leaving retail trapped
🎯 How to Spot It Before It Happens
Check liquidation Heatmaps (e.g., Coinglass) to see where large clusters of stops are hiding
Look for sudden price moves into key support/resistance levels with high volume
Watch BTC dominance — sudden shifts often hint at upcoming liquidity grabs
💎 Pro Tip
Don’t place SLs exactly where “everyone” does. Place them beyond common liquidity zones or wait for the hunt to happen before entering.
