A stop hunt is when large players (market makers, whales, institutions) deliberately push the price to trigger the stop-loss orders that retail traders have placed, so they can:
1. Fill their own large positions at better prices 2. Grab liquidity from those triggered stops 3. Then reverse the price in the original direction
Key signs of a stop hunt: · A sudden wick/spike below support (or above resistance) that quickly reverses · Happens often around round numbers, session opens, or news events · Volume spike at the fake move, then reversal
Also it is called: · Liquidity grab / liquidity sweep · Stop run · Bear raid (downside) / Bull raid (upside) · "Fakeout" or "flush"
The chart highlights a "Low Volume Trade" on the $BTC /USDT daily timeframe. The yellow box marks a small-bodied candlestick with long wicks, signaling market indecision and exhaustion. The text "Yesterday trade is just exhausting" explains that the previous upward momentum has died, and neither buyers nor sellers are in control.
Because volume is low, price movements become unreliable. The downward yellow arrow shows the result: a sharp drop immediately after this indecision, proving that low-volume chop creates false signals and traps traders.
The core lesson is: "Avoid any trade that doesn't have buying or selling pressure." Trading during sideways, low-volume conditions is essentially gambling. The chart advises waiting for a clear, high-volume breakout in either direction before entering a position. Patience is key—don't force a trade when the market lacks clear momentum or direction.
BlackRock Says Bitcoin Will Keep Growing as Wall Street Access Expands
BlackRock executive Robbie Mitchnick recently noted that Bitcoin will continue its growth trajectory as market access rapidly expands.
Wall Street is actively building easier pathways into the digital asset. BlackRock’s IBIT fund now holds over 765,000 $BTC , valued at more than $60 billion. With lowered swap minimums and deeper institutional integration, Bitcoin is officially transitioning into core capital market infrastructure.
Today, I want to share my personal opinion about Bitcoin (BTC).
In my view, $BTC has formed a strong support around $58K. At this moment, taking a short position on BTC could be a risky decision because the current market structure looks strongly bullish.
If Bitcoin manages to break and hold above $90K, then I believe $100K could become the next major target. This is based on my personal experience of around 7 years in the crypto market.
There is still a lot of discussion in the market that BTC could fall back to $40K. In my opinion, that is only a possibility, not a certainty. A drop to $40K is possible, but saying it will definitely happen is simply speculation.
📌 My view: Follow the trend, watch key support and resistance levels, and always manage your risk instead of trading emotionally.
