Why Price Moves Fast Before News — Even When “Nothing” Is Announced
Ever noticed this?
BTC starts moving
ALT coins wake up
Wicks appear
Volatility increases
But the news hasn’t dropped yet.
That’s not magic. That’s positioning.
Big players don’t wait for news.
They prepare before the news.
Here’s what actually happens:
• Institutions build positions quietly
• Liquidity is collected near obvious levels
• Retail traders get chopped in ranges
• Then news becomes the “excuse” for the move
This is why: 👉 News doesn’t start the move
👉 News finishes the move
If you trade only after headlines: You’re late. If you trade only on rumors: You’re gambling.
Smart traders watch: • Volume changes
• Sudden volatility spikes
• Repeated tests of key levels
Because price always whispers before it screams.
Trade the behavior, not the headline.
Save this — it changes how you see the market.
