Price goes with your predicted direction after your LIQUIDATION or STOP-LOSS triggered ?

Now let's talk about two painful scenarios in crypto trading: Liquidation Hunting and Stop-Loss Killing.

Liquidation Hunting: Whales know retail traders place stop-losses just below key levels like the Double Bottom. By pushing the price down to $93,483, they triggered these stops, forcing sales and creating a pool of liquidity (sell orders) they could buy into at a lower price.

Stop-Loss Killing: The wick also targeted leveraged traders. On exchanges like Binance, a sharp move like this wipes out long positions, especially those with tight stops or high leverage. The chart shows a “Sell” signal at $94,827 right before the drop—classic bait to lure retail into expecting a breakdown.
