Institutional investors often take advantage of liquidity to execute substantial trades without disturbing market prices
However, liquidity can also be used as a tool for manipulation ๐

Big players sometimes create artificial demand or supply by placing large orders to lure other market participants
This can distort the true market sentiment and trick others into following the herd

Stop hunting is another common practice
It involves intentionally triggering stop-loss orders placed by retail traders to induce panic selling or buying
This allows the big players to accumulate or unload positions at more favorable prices

Regarding stop hunts, being aware of common price levels where stop-loss orders tend to cluster can be helpful
These levels can act as magnets for big players, who may attempt to trigger those stops before reversing the price in their desired direction

@notmrmanziel and I hit a beautiful trade-off the open on $UPST
We can see price sweep below the previous day's low and hold on to the 15 min
This shows that buyers were still active at this level, and sellers got trapped causing big players to push the price higher

I also played this A+ setup off of Open $SPY. We see price being pushed a few cents below PML & previous Demand
Price then collected liquidity and closed above my Zone, big players manipulate price using stop hunts/liquidity to move price where they please

I only Trade w Volume/Price Action
One strategy is to pay attention to Volume Spikes
Surges in volume can indicate increased market interest or the presence of big players
By monitoring volume patterns, you may spot potential liquidity-driven moves & use them to your advantage
