Why the Market Always Feels Like It Moves Against You

Almost every trader has said this at some point:
“The moment I go long, price dumps. When I short, it pumps.”

It feels personal — but it isn’t.

The market isn’t reacting to you. It’s reacting to where traders like you enter and place stops.

Most retail traders enter at obvious points: • Buying after a clear breakout
• Selling after support clearly breaks
• Placing stop-losses at clean, visible levels

Because this behavior is predictable, those areas become crowded. And where orders are crowded, liquidity exists.

When you go long at the breakout, your stop usually sits below the recent low. Price moves down first — not to target you — but to collect those stops and fill larger orders. Once that liquidity is taken, price often moves in the original direction.

Same logic when you short. You enter late, stops sit above the high, and price spikes up to clear them before dropping.

It feels like the market is “against you” because you’re entering where decisions are already made — not where they begin.

The market doesn’t hunt traders.
It hunts liquidity.

When you stop chasing confirmation and start waiting for price to reach obvious trap zones, this frustration fades. You realize the issue was never direction — it was timing and placement.

Price isn’t disrespecting your trade.
It’s following its job: filling orders.

Once you understand that, the market stops feeling unfair — and starts feeling logical.
