Most retail traders get liquidated not during brutal downtrends, but right when the market feels the most unstoppable.
With the Fear and Greed index sitting at 67, everyone is rushing to long every minor breakout without checking order book depth. The brutal reality is that buying into resistance because of sheer FOMO usually turns you into exit liquidity for whales looking to offload their bags.
When $BTC taps a major resistance level and gets turned away, it is rarely just a random pullback. Market makers often push price into heavy liquidity clusters to trigger late short stops, only to let high-volume sell orders absorb all that buying momentum. Watching how $SUI or $MINA bleed out shortly after Bitcoin stalls tells you everything you need to know about overextended open interest across the board.
If you are entering positions purely because a green candle looked strong without waiting for a confirmed reclaim, you are simply gambling on hope. Real spot demand needs to support these moves, otherwise rejection wicks are designed to trap the aggressive crowd every single time.
Are you de-risking at these key levels, or are you still holding out for one more push higher?
