Abstract generation in progress

The market does not operate on emotions. It operates on liquidity.
Every candlestick you see is not simply “buy – sell.” It is a process of accumulating, trapping, and distributing positions.
If you are constantly stop-loss hunting before the price moves in the direction you predicted, the problem is not that you “lack analysis.”
The issue is that you are trading against the liquidity distribution model of the institutions.

Here are four common price operation models that big money uses every day:
1️⃣ STOP HUNT MODEL
Price does not move until they gather enough liquidity.
Familiar scenario:
Price pushes into a large POI zone.
Sweeps all recent lows/highs.
Retail stop-losses are triggered en masse.
After liquidity is absorbed, the new market structure truly shifts.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) appears.
If you entered a trade before that sweep, you are the liquidity they are targeting.

2️⃣ THE TRAP MODEL
This is why many people who “know analysis” still lose.
After signs of structural shift, they don’t act immediately.
Instead:
Create a perfect pullback.
Like a golden opportunity to enter a trade.
Retail traders become confident in their position.
The price reverses, sweeping one last round of liquidity.
Only when the weakest hands are eliminated does the real trend begin.

3️⃣ OPTIMAL PRICE ZONE OF THE ALGORITHMS
Institutions do not FOMO.
They calculate.
The optimal entry zone is usually within the Fibonacci retracement area of 0.62 – 0.79.
When:
An FVG coincides with this retracement zone
Previous liquidity has been swept
The larger structure supports it
That’s when real money enters.
Not at the breakout.
Not at the peak of emotional frenzy.

4️⃣ RANGE TRAP
Price moves sideways for so long that you get frustrated.
You close your position.
Or you short when you see the price break the range low.
At that moment:
They sweep the large timeframe liquidity.
Price reverses back inside the range.
Retests the accumulation zone.
That is not “support.”
It is where the institutions load more positions before pushing the price higher.

🎯 THE HARD TRUTH
The market is not random.
It is designed around liquidity.
Retail focuses on RSI, MACD, divergence…
While big money focuses on:
Where is the liquidity?
Where are the stop-losses?
Who is trapped?
How to make the majority enter at the wrong time?
You are either the hunter.
Or the liquidity.

I share this not to create fear.
But to help you change your perspective:
Don’t ask “Where will the price go?”
Ask “Where is the liquidity?”
When you start trading with the big money instead of against it, everything will change.
Save this. Study it carefully. Because in this market, understanding structure is more important than any indicator.
