🎯 Stop Hunts — The Game Behind the Game 🎭💥
⸻
What Are Stop Hunts?
Stop hunts are intentional liquidity grabs. Big players push price past obvious levels to trigger retail stop-losses — then reverse it 😏
It’s not manipulation…
It’s liquidity engineering 💡
⸻
🧲 Where Do They Happen?
✅ Above swing highs → trap breakout longs
✅ Below swing lows → trap panic sellers
✅ During news → disguise real intent with volatility
✅ Near session open/close → fake moves, fast reversals
⸻
🧠 Why They Matter:
🔹 Stop hunts = liquidity injection zones
🔹 Often mark the real beginning of a move
🔹 Fakeouts create best R:R trades for pros
🔹 Reveals where whales are stalking retail entries 🐋
⸻
💡 Pro Detection Tips:
1. Sharp wick beyond a clear level → fast rejection
2. Price quickly returns inside range
3. CVD or Delta shows buyers/sellers trapped
4. Liquidity map shows clusters just above/below key levels
⸻
📈 Stop Hunt Fade Strategy:
• Identify obvious swing high/low (where retail stops likely sit)
• Wait for quick wick above/below → watch volume/delta response
• Enter in opposite direction after confirmation
• Stop beyond wick — target mid-range or opposite edge
Stop hunts = Smart entries when everyone else gets liquidated 😮💨
