Liquidity Traps, and hidden orders
Traps : When price is manipulated in order to capture liquidity, with misinformation, for instance in this case the buy orders @ 139.800 were completely hidden from the market, meaning information is not available at all for retail traders, why did they do this? In order to accumulate liquidity and give fake hopes to buyers, accumulating all positions with "Fake triangles" and fake breakouts. And then killing all...
What is what I noticed that gave up the trap?
1) The price entered a big resistance level with many open sale positions on the oder book, so it was extremely hard to break, however the price was still trying to go up
2) The price wouldn't go down, thing is different as why wouldn't it go up (of the huge resistance sellers had with open orders), there was no open buy orders @ 139.800, yet the price was not going down, this meant a huge hidden buy order was doing the dirty job...
3) The price entered a range, usually after finding such resistance, the price will fight a little and then fall straight down, well the price not only fought, but fought for 7+ hours, and accumulated around 4.7% in the range between 139.800 and 139.850 of all buyers in this zone. Not any sellers, why? Cause they are not going to kill sellers... The manipulator is a seller
4) Fake symmetrical triangle and resistance breakout, the price did go up, however for all the liquidity trapped in this zone the price should have exploded, not moved that little, overall even find some resistance like it did after breaking the symmetrical triangle
We are never shown the whole picture as retail traders
