🧵 12 — Market makers don’t care about your bias
1/
Market makers don’t care if you’re bullish or bearish.
They care about one thing:
your liquidity.
2/
Your bias:
“BTC is going up”
“ETH is going down”
Market reality:
Price goes where liquidity is
3/
That means:
Even if you’re RIGHT on direction…
You can still lose the trade.
4/
Why?
Because before the real move…
Market will:
• Sweep highs
• Sweep lows
• Trigger stops
5/
📉 Example:
You long BTC at support
Price:
→ Dips below support (you get stopped)
→ Then rallies hard
You were right…
Just positioned wrong.
6/
📈 Same on the other side:
You short resistance
Price:
→ Breaks above (you get liquidated)
→ Then dumps
Again — right idea, wrong execution.
7/
This is not manipulation
This is how markets function
Liquidity must be taken before expansion
8/
📊 What smart traders do:
They don’t trade bias
They trade reactions
9/
Instead of:
“I think BTC will go up”
They think:
“If liquidity below gets swept → I look for longs”
10/
🎯 Real edge:
Wait for:
• Liquidity sweep
• Reclaim / confirmation
• Then enter
11/
📍 Example setup:
Range low gets swept
Price reclaims level
👉 Entry: after reclaim
👉 SL: below sweep
👉 TP: range high
12/
Bias = opinion
Execution = profit
Only one matters.
13/
If you remove bias…
You stop fighting the market
And start trading with it.
