📚 LET’S LEARN TOGETHER 🧠🤓: Liquidity Hunt (STOP HUNT): Why the market goes after your Stop Loss before moving up
Have you ever placed an order, watched the price drop exactly to your Stop Loss, and then immediately reverse and surge upward? That’s not bad luck. It’s known as a STOP HUNT (Liquidity Hunt). It happens because major market players need to absorb liquidity from retail traders who place their protective orders right next to obvious support levels, so they can fill their large buy positions.
LOOK AT HOW THIS HUNT PLAYED OUT ON THE 4-HOUR (4H) BITCOIN CHART ($BTC ):
🔹The sweep: Notice the large bearish wick that swept for liquidity down to $80,684.36. It stopped out all the traders whose Stop Losses were placed tightly below $81,000.
🔹The recovery: After clearing that zone, the price bounced strongly to a high of $83,158.00. It is currently trading at $82,254.93 (+1.39%), holding above the EMA 7 ($82,164.02) and EMA 25 ($82,026.52).
🔹A protective rule: With the RSI at 55.31, the key is not to place your Stop Loss right at an obvious support level. Give it some breathing room below the structure to withstand these early-week “wick-outs.”
