What is #Spoofing ?

Manipulation where big players create fake buy/sell orders to trick traders and move the price in their favor. Classic example:

🐋 A bot places a sale of 1,000 BTC at $30k on the book → Traders panic and sell → Price drops → Fake order disappears → Manipulator buys BTC cheap!

🚨 How to Identify Spoofing on Binance (App):

1️⃣ Monitor the Order Book

Where to Find It:

On the asset screen (e.g.: BTC/USDT), click on "Orders" → Below the chart, see the buy/sell orders (Bids/Asks).

Suspicious Signs:

📉 Giant walls that appear and disappear before the price reaches them.

🔄 Multiple large orders at close levels with no real volume (e.g. 10 orders of 100 BTC in a row).

2️⃣ Depth Chart

Where to Find It:

On the asset screen, click on "More" → Select "Depth Chart".

Spoofing Pattern:

💡 If there is an abnormal concentration of selling/buying at a specific level without a clear reason (e.g. news or technical data such as price support and resistance), be suspicious!

3️⃣ Analyze Real Volume

Where to See It:

On the main chart, activate the Volume indicator (tap on "Indicators" → Search for "VOL").

Also see the money volume charts, which only show executed orders.

Red Flag:

📊 If the price is falling/rising fast but the volume is low → It could be spoofing without real liquidity!

4️⃣ Check the Trade History

Where to Find It:

Scroll down on the asset screen and look at the "Recent Trades" list.

Alert:

⚠️ Lots of small orders executed while a large wall persists? It's probably a facade!

🛡️ Tips to Protect Yourself:

1️⃣ Don't React to Panic: confirm with volume and news before acting!

2️⃣ Use Fair Stop-Loss: Place stops outside of obvious zones (*e.g.: below real technical supports*).

3️⃣ Enable Price Alerts: Tap the bell icon 🔔 at the top of the asset screen to be notified if the price reaches critical levels!
