Where could there be liquidity at 2200 if everything was withdrawn there during the last dump?
Good question.
As a new trader, if you buy ETH at $2,500 in the futures market and set a stop-loss just below a key support area, you need to be aware of smart money tactics. Institutions and whales understand where retail traders place their stop-losses and often push the price below these levels to trigger liquidations before reversing the market.
This is why blindly placing a stop-loss at obvious support zones can be risky. A better approach is to account for liquidity grabs and set a stop-loss at a level where the market is less likely to manipulate price action. Understanding liquidity zones and smart money strategies is key to staying ahead.
