High-frequency bots look for areas with high liquidity (such as stops or liquidations) and by trading there, they move the price. They execute hundreds of orders per second, absorb liquidity, and cause rapid movements in the market.

The price of $XRP skyrocketed from the 2.05 zone to touch 2.17, triggering a powerful liquidation zone for short positions.
Between 2.14 and 2.18, there was a high concentration of leveraged traders in short positions, who were forced to close their positions upon reaching those levels.
The movement shows how the market goes directly to areas where leverage is more exposed.
These types of impulses are not random: they respond to a clear logic of seeking liquidity and imbalance of positions.
