Market Consolidation or Fakeout? Master the Liquidity Trap in Current Ranges

​As Bitcoin and major altcoins continue to consolidate in tight key ranges around key moving averages, retail traders are frequently getting caught in false breakouts.

When the market trades in a tight range, price often sweeps liquidity above equal highs or below equal lows before aggressive smart money reversal takes place.

Rather than trading the initial breakout candle, wait for a confirmed market structure shift (MSS) on lower timeframes after a liquidity sweep. Protecting capital during consolidation phases is what separates consistent traders from account breachespatience at key order blocks always pays off.

​What is your current market bias on BTC are you waiting for a breakout or trading the range bounds?
