📌
Liquidity sweeping occurs when the market moves very quickly to sweep stop loss orders and pending orders of the majority, before moving in the true direction.
Big players know very well where most traders place their stop losses — usually at:
Right above resistance
Or under support
👉 Therefore, the price is intentionally pushed up or down to these areas to gather liquidity.
---
🔍 For newcomers, liquidity sweeping looks like:
A sudden spike or sharp drop
Break important levels
But it won't last long, then quickly reverses
Everyone thinks it's a real breakout → FOMO into the trade
Whereas in reality, it's a trap for:
Late buyers
Panic sellers
---
💸 Why do most traders lose money?
Because they chase the price:
Buy after breakout
Sell after dump
Just when the smart money is exiting.
After liquidity is taken, the market often moves strongly in the opposite direction.

✅ Effective liquidity scraping handling
Patience
Don't enter a trade right when the price breaks a level
Wait to see if the price can hold above/below that level
❗ If the price quickly returns to the old range → it's highly likely liquidity scraping
---
🧠 Conclusion
Liquidity scraping is not bad — that's how the market operates.
When you understand it:
You will stop
trapped
And start trading with the market, not against it 📈
