Last week's 15% crash in $BTC wasn't just another dump but a calculated hunt that swept $3.8 billion in downside liquidity across majors like $ETH too.
If your stop got hit at the lows only to watch the bounce start immediately after, you know that gut-wrenching feeling all too well. Every veteran trader has lived through it more than once, especially in past cycles like 2018 and 2022.
Over the past week we saw an aggressive selloff that hunted most of the local downside liquidity. This is classic market behavior when leveraged positions pile up below obvious support levels.
The big players push price down just enough to trigger stops and liquidations, harvesting that cheap liquidity. Then they reverse. We watched this play out after FTX in 2022 when $BTC dumped to 15k before recovering hard. Same pattern showed up in $SOL last week.
The real skill is recognizing these hunts instead of panicking. Fear sells the bottom. Experience waits for the liquidity to get taken out first.
Anyone else seeing these sweeps become more frequent this cycle?
