Here's what most traders miss: support structures meant to stabilize price action often backfire. When these walls get absorbed, they don't just disappear—they trigger a cascade. The compression that follows actually amplifies volatility rather than dampening it.
Why? Because once a buy wall gets eaten, market participants recognize the defense failed. That psychological shift creates accelerated selling pressure. What was supposed to be a floor becomes a trap, converting potential buyers into panic sellers.
This is a core insight for anyone trading volatile assets. The mechanics designed to fight the market often just defer the move, then intensify it.

Buying walls and crashing instantly—I've seen this trick many times. The false and real defenses are easily broken with a single poke.

Buyers building walls are futile; they break with a single poke. That's why seemingly stable support can be the most deadly.

The buy orders collapsed super fast, that's psychological warfare right there. Once the defense line breaks, everything goes to chaos.

Buy wall disappears in seconds? That's a sign of the whale running away. See through it?

Buyers' momentum has collapsed; this is a psychological game. Once the defense line breaks, everything falls into chaos.
See how quickly that buy wall crumbled?
