Liquidity, FOMO, and How the Market Really Moves
Over the past sessions, the market has systematically swept through multiple high-liquidity zones.
These were not random price levels.
They were hot zones areas where positioning was crowded, leverage was stacked, and conviction was emotionally driven rather than strategically placed.
As price moved through these zones, liquidity was absorbed and cleared.
Longs and shorts alike were forced out, one layer at a time.
At the current stage, most of the major liquidity clusters above have already been taken.
What remains is a relatively thinner liquidity pocket below, suggesting that the market has largely completed one phase of its cleanup.
This behavior highlights a core truth about market structure:
Markets do not move to reward the majority. They move to exploit imbalance.
When too many participants share the same bias, price does not accelerate in their favor.
Instead, it moves in the opposite direction toward the area where losses will be maximized.
This is why
#FOMO is one of the most reliable signals in trading.
The moment a trader becomes aware that they are chasing price at a specific level,
that level has usually already been identified by the market as liquidity.
Before any sustainable breakout occurs,
before any narrative continuation plays out,
the market tends to liquidate late participants first.
Not because the direction is wrong but because the timing is.
Professional market participants wait for imbalance to reset.
Retail crowds rush in once a move becomes obvious.
And price always prioritizes efficiency over emotion.
Understanding where liquidity sits and recognizing when you are emotionally involved is often more important than predicting direction.
Because in most cases,
the market does not move against you randomly.
It moves against you because you are part of the crowd.
