Most traders assume buying a sudden double-digit dip during market greed is free money, but historical liquidity data tells a completely different story.
When the broader index sits high around 70 while major assets like $BTC cool off, retail investors often rush to catch falling altcoins, only to realize they just bought the start of a prolonged distribution phase.
Looking at the current price action as $NEAR pulls back, the order books show surprisingly thin bid depth below local support. When an asset drops while open interest remains elevated, leveraged long positions get trapped. If spot buyers refuse to step in with real volume, market makers simply pull their bids, triggering cascading liquidations down to the next major demand zone.
Before attempting to average down on tokens during sudden retracements, check the spot-to-derivatives volume ratio and net exchange inflows instead of relying solely on oversold indicators. In a leveraged market, prices can easily stay irrational longer than accounts can survive liquidation.
Are you bidding the dip here, or waiting for volume confirmation on the higher timeframes?
