Here are the key reasons this happens:
1. Global and political events
Wars, economic decisions, sanctions, or sudden news can move the market instantly. These events are unpredictable and often override technical analysis.
2. Whales (big players)
Large investors can enter or exit positions with huge capital, pushing the market in a direction that goes against your analysis.
3. Liquidations (like what happened to you)
When many traders use leverage, a small move can trigger a chain reaction of liquidations, causing massive price swings.
4. Market sentiment (FUD & FOMO)
Fear and greed often drive the market more than logic.
