Perpetual futures regularly print wicks that liquidate traders while the actual price of $BTC stays completely unchanged.
Getting stopped out on a fake dump is one of the fastest ways to bleed an account. You see the chart crash, panic, then watch it reverse because nothing actually sold in the cash market.
When size hits an empty order book the last trade just jumps. Local shorts on that contract get liquidated and the wick prints like the market collapsed. But it is isolated.
$BTC spot, the ETFs and the global index do not follow that print. They only move when real bids lift the cash market. You see the same thing with $ETH and $SOL whenever liquidity thins out.
The danger is treating those perps candles as truth. You end up trading against forced liquidations instead of actual supply and demand.
Where do you think this disconnect heads as more size piles into perps?
