Triggering a chain reaction can also occur with excessive profit-taking (often leading to false breakouts)
A large amount of profit-taking may trigger:
Other people's stop-loss orders
Other people's take-profit orders
Some high-frequency trading bots following the trend
Forming a sharp recoil in a short time:
Selling at a high point → Faster drop
Buying at a low point → Faster rise
Thus, the market often shows:
❗“Breakthrough and then pull back”
❗“Sudden spike”
❗“After a surge, immediately turns back”
The biggest culprit behind this is——
A large number of take-profit orders instantaneously impacting the price.
