“Don’t beat the market. Swim with the market makers.”
In plain terms: stop fighting liquidity, stop fighting trend, and stop trading opinions.
Here’s what that mindset actually looks like in practice:
What market makers do
Create liquidity, not direction—until they need to move price
Accumulate quietly when sentiment is boring or fearful
Distribute loudly when retail is euphoric
Hunt liquidity (stops, breakout traders, leverage)
What swimming with them means
You follow structure, not headlines
You buy consolidation and fear, not green candles
You sell or de-risk euphoria, not red days
You respect ranges, liquidity zones, and volume, not predictions
Common retail mistake
Trying to be right instead of being aligned.
Market makers don’t care about:
Fair value
Narratives
Your conviction
They care about:
Where liquidity sits
Who’s trapped
When to flip the switch
Simple rule of thumb
If price is:
Choppy + boring → accumulation
Explosive + emotional → distribution
By the time the move is “obvious,” they’re already exiting.
In crypto especially (BTC, XRP, majors), the winners aren’t the loudest bulls or bears—they’re the ones patient enough to let the big money show its hand first.
