Let's talk about the intentions of market makers today. Why will your stop-loss be precisely triggered?


Market makers profit from the spread and providing liquidity, not from betting on the direction.
What does that mean? They place orders on both sides. You go long, they sell to you; you go short, they buy back. They earn the small fees and the spread in between, and they don't care whether the price goes up or down.
So when you see those large order walls, nine out of ten are fake. They place them there just to lure you into opening orders at their desired levels. Once you fall for it, they cancel the orders, let the price break through, and sweep your stop-loss.
And those sudden volume surges? Don't get excited. Most of the time, it's them moving their own orders back and forth, drawing lines to mislead you. If you chase in, they unload their positions on you.
To put it simply, market makers don't look at candlestick charts; they watch where your stop-loss orders are clustered. If you set your stop-loss at previous lows or just below key round numbers, you're basically telling them—"Come and hit me."
So from now on, don't follow big orders, don't chase volume spikes, and don't place your stop-loss too neatly. The more you follow the majority's actions, the easier you become fuel for them. $BTC #特朗普推迟打击伊朗
