Every time you think the market’s about to crash, it pumps.
And when you’re sure it’s time to enter, it dumps.
Maybe it’s time to ask a serious question: Who’s really hunting whom?



Hello✌
Spend 3 minutes ⏰ reading this educational material.


🎯 Analytical Insight on Ethereum:

As noted earlier, after several days of sideways action, ETHUSDT has confidently broken above its parallel channel. 🚀 This breakout sets the stage for a potential gain of at least 10%, targeting around 3200. There is also a chance for a retest of the channel’s upper boundary before continuing higher. 🔄


Now, let's dive into the educational section,

🎯 The Modern Market Hunters
Markets today aren’t simple anymore. Behind every candle lies a strategy, an algorithm designed for one thing:
Profiting from your fear and greed.

In crypto, liquidations have turned from a mere term to a deadly tactic. When you enter a position, exchanges know exactly where your stops are. Often, price moves are designed to trigger liquidations of traders like you.

🛠 TradingView’s Tools to Spot the Traps
In a market where hunters are always one step ahead, TradingView’s default tools can be your secret weapon. You just need to know where and what to check:

Volume Profile (Range & Fixed): Shows where real money volume has entered, not just pretty candles.

Liquidity Zones Indicators: Pinpoints exact areas where stops cluster the prime hunting grounds.

Order Block Detection Scripts: Marks zones where whales place heavy orders, always moving against retail trader sentiment.

Set these tools on 1H to 4H timeframes and focus on overlapping areas. This way, you can spot traps before they activate, not after.

🔬 How Are Traps Actually Set?
Markets first build a nice trend, making everyone FOMO in. Then, a sudden shadowy candle crashes the party.
This is called a liquidity sweep or stop hunt.

Signs are clear:

Sudden volume spikes

Positions quickly flipping to profit or loss

Long shadows on candles signaling stop grabs

This is exactly where Open Interest and Liquidity Maps come in handy. They reveal the hunting map before your eyes.

🧠 Your Mind Is The Biggest Liquidity Map
The biggest traps are built inside traders’ minds. When the market moves against you, you panic and set stops.
But that’s exactly the lesson market makers want you to learn: don’t react emotionally.
Instead, a pro trader uses others’ behaviors as cues before market moves.

While you focus on profit, whales focus on your biggest fear: stop loss.

🔄 Your Greed Is Their Data
Every stop you set is a data point for them. You chase profit, they chase your surrender.

Lots of long volume in one zone? Price gets dragged down.
Everyone’s short? Expect a fake pump.
Volume is a footprint, and they track emotional traders like a bloodhound.

🚧 Escape The Trap, Don’t Predict The Market
Pro trader’s formula:
Don’t try to predict track.

When you realize the market isn’t moving naturally but hunting orders, your mindset shifts. You become a tracker, not a soothsayer.

📉 Every Candle Can Be A Killer If You’re Unaware
When a big opposing candle hits your position, ask:
Are we all thinking the same thing?
If yes, you’re likely the next target.

📌 Final Summary
If you only chase profit, you miss the fact the market is hunting you.
The only way out: know they play with your info, not just the charts.
Trading blindfolded is walking into the wolf’s den.

✅ What To Do Next?
Learn to analyze other traders’ moves, not just price action.
Use TradingView tools to see behind the candles.
You’re not here to be hunted you’re here to hunt. So this time, guess where everyone’s stop will be before entering!
