Letโs get this straight, fam โ crypto isnโt a free market playground. Itโs a leveraged casino with fancy branding. ๐ฐ๐ Hereโs whatโs going on behind the curtain:
๐ Centralized Exchanges Run the Show
They arenโt just matching buyers with sellers. Nope. Their business model?
๐ Sell bets to retail traders using leverage (loaned liquidity backed by collateral).
๐ Use market makers to create fake demand, fake moves, and suck people in.
๐ Then use those same market makers to liquidate the very traders they sold those bets to. ๐๐ธ
Exchanges control price. Not the market. Not the news. Not your TA. Let that sink in.
๐ Perpetual Futures Rule the Volume
Perp markets = 100x more daily volume than the spot market.
Thatโs right โ the market is dominated by leveraged bets, not real buyers or sellers. ๐งจ
So when prices move fast โ itโs not demandโฆ itโs liquidation hunting.
๐ Regulations Are Coming (But Slowly)
The Clarity Act and Market Structure Act aim to clean this up.
โ Real volume
โ Real settlement
โ Transparent leverage rules
BUTโฆ these rules will take time to hit offshore exchanges (which is where most of the games are played ๐๐ด). So until thenโฆ
๐ Hereโs What Smart Traders Do:
๐ง Track Global Liquidity on HIGH timeframes (daily/weekly)
๐ง Track Liquidation Levels on LOW timeframes (5m/15m)
Youโll see where the traps are being set ๐ฏ
๐ฅ When macro or crypto news is good, the herd goes LONGโฆ
โ Exchanges flush to the downside to wreck them ๐๐ฅ
๐ฅ When macro or crypto news is bad, the herd goes SHORTโฆ
โ Exchanges flush to the upside to wreck them ๐๐ฅ
Itโs not personal. Itโs profit. ๐ง
๐ฏ The Alpha:
Donโt fight the game โ PLAY IT.
โ Wait for the flushes
โ Buy the bottoms of liquidation wicks
โ Ride the reset wave ๐๐
You donโt need to time tops and bottoms โ just exploit the emotional traps set by the system. Until this is regulated outโฆ this is how the game is played.
