Here's what happened when Bitcoin kept sweeping the lows last week.
Most traders got comfortable staying short. They waited for even lower prices and ended up missing the reversal or getting squeezed as $ETH started to recover.
The continuous sweeps made shorts feel completely safe, turning it psychologically difficult to open any longs. Everyone just sat waiting for that next lower print that never arrived. That's the part most people overlooked.
When the turn came it was sharp. $BNB held key levels while the squeeze hit those who stayed too long in shorts. The real risk is getting trapped believing the downtrend is still intact after these liquidity hunts. They often mark exhaustion, not more selling.
Anyone else seeing this pattern set up again?
