In crypto futures trading, many people have had this experience: shortly after opening a position, the price moves slightly against them and triggers their stop-loss. Frustratingly, after they close the position, the market starts moving in the direction they originally expected.
Why do stop-losses keep getting hit?
First, the stop-loss is set too close. BTC itself can experience significant short-term volatility. If you place your stop-loss very close to your entry price simply because you're afraid of losing money, normal price fluctuations can easily trigger it.
Second, key support and resi

$BTC That four-hour bullish candle looks intimidating at first glance, but a closer look reveals that big money has no intention of sticking around. The past 30 days tell the story: net outflows of 10.1 billion from the derivatives market, with another 1.777 billion pulled from spot. The current excitement is just short-term money hyping itself up, while real big capital packed up and left long ago. This rally is essentially paving the way for a sell-off; anyone chasing it now is voluntarily putting themselves under the market makers’ feet as a stepping stone.

Nearly 100 times of getting wiped out have taught me this: going back in after a stop-loss is where the liquidation begins
Have you ever had this experience? You feel extremely confident when opening a position, set a protective stop-loss, and then look away. Before you even have time to step away from your screen, you get stopped out at lightning speed. What’s even more maddening is that shortly after your stop is hit, the market V-shaped reverses and shoots back up, as if some shady market maker is targeting your trades. So what should you do next?

November 5 Midterm Election “Blue Wave” Drives Gold Higher
Yesterday, as the U.S. midterm election results gradually became clear, gold prices fluctuated sharply with the progress of the race. Gold surged nearly $140 in a single day, breaking through the previous key $4,000 level and reaching a high near $4,070. At today’s open, gold continued yesterday’s strong trend, setting another high around $4,125 during the Asian session. Short-term bullish momentum remains strong.
Technically, after breaking through the key resistance at 4,080 on the four-hour chart, gold has fully opened up the upside

Price has moved above the 7 day average, showing short term strength. However, the 30 day average near $81,011 remains the next major test.

Guys, I’ll never casually hold a position again. These market makers are utterly heartless. I’m heading to the factory to work on the assembly line. Brothers, keep moving forward for me
