Hidden Liquidity: How Do Whales Move Without Us Seeing Them?
⸻
1. Hidden Orders in the Order Book
Some platforms allow placing buy or sell orders that are invisible to the public. Whales use them to enter the market without suddenly moving the price.
2. Trading in Tranches (Iceberg Orders)
Instead of entering a huge amount all at once, it is divided into several small orders… like the “tip of an iceberg,” with the rest hidden.
3. Unusual Activity Before the Explosion
If you notice trading volume suddenly increasing without a significant price movement, there may be hidden accumulation… prepare for a sudden move.
4. Reverse Analysis of Price Movement
If the price fails to break a strong level despite all attempts, there is likely hidden liquidity supporting the opposite direction.
