A while back everyone was screaming for one more sweep below 57k on $BTC. Classic setup, right? But here's the thing: when the crowd expects something that badly, it's usually the exact move that won't happen.
So what's a market maker gonna do?
Give retail the perfect entry they've been begging for? That's not how this works.
Let everyone front-run the move, including themselves? Even worse.
Or flip the script entirely—pump just enough to make retail think the bottom's locked in, price only goes up from here, and watch them chase instead of waiting for their sweep?
That's the game. When too many people want the same thing, the market finds a way to make them wrong or late. If you're still waiting for that textbook dip everyone called weeks ago, you might be waiting forever.
Stay sharp. The best setups don't come when the crowd's ready.
