Most retail traders don't realize that over 80% of local tops form right when the market feels the most invincible.
We're sitting at a 73 Greed reading, and everyone is furiously longing breakout attempts, only to watch their stops get systematically hunted. It hurts watching your capital bleed out because you bought the exact resistance level everyone on your feed claimed was about to shatter.
Looking closely at the on-chain order books, the overhead ask liquidity around key resistance zones is massive compared to actual spot bid support. While retail is rotating aggressively into high-beta plays like $NEIRO and chasing momentum on tokens like $ONDO, smart money is using these liquidity spikes to exit quietly into $USDT rather than frontrunning a clean breakout.
When order books thin out on the bid side during high-greed phases, even a minor wave of spot distribution can trigger cascading liquidations through heavily leveraged long positions. The volume simply isn't confirming the move upward yet, which usually signals exhaustion rather than continuation.
Are you de-risking up here, or are you holding out for a confirmed retest?
