Here's what happened when the latest $BTC selloff ripped across the market last week.
Jumping in too early left traders holding losses as liquidity dried up and another 7 percent vanished overnight. That cycle of FOMO entries turning into bagholding is the real cost of ignoring market structure.
The dump created a notable imbalance, with $BTC sliding 9 percent on 42 billion volume while bids collapsed below key levels. This gap often pulls price back to fill it, but the risk is a failed bounce that triggers more liquidations. Similar vacuums formed in $ETH, suggesting the selling pressure was not isolated.
Most missed how these imbalances can cascade if $SOL follows the same path of thin books. Waiting for the fill rather than chasing has saved more accounts than timing the exact bottom.
Where do you think this imbalance gets filled from here?
