Now to the lectures proper.
What is your understanding of the Liquidity Level. Give Examples (Clear Charts Needed)
Liquidity level
Liquidity refers to the ability of an asset or coin to be easily converted to a real cash without a converse effect on the market price. When there is a converging order for sell or buy positions then such points are tagged as liquidity levels because they fill in the market order.
So traders place buy and sell order expecting the market to trigger the position so they take advantage of the profit or set thier stop loss incase the price goes beyond their profit margin. This buy and sell order in the market is what determine the Liquidity level, were there is a high sell point marked by the pinbars candle stick and also the buy positions marked by this same candle stick.
Below is a clear chat showing the volatility levels.
Clear BTCUSDT Chart showing Volatility levels
Looking at the chart above at the middle of the month between April and May 2021 there was price bull hitting a resistance level showing that the traders placed some sell orders and then reversal at the month of May were buy orders were placed by traders. So at those two points of buy and sell there are cash flows resulting in market volatility.
Explain the reasons why traders got trapped in Fakeouts. Provide at least 2 charts showing clear fakeout.
Fakeout
This is a condition experienced when bigger financial institutions or whales in the crypto market take advantage of liquidity levels thereby causing retail traders to loss out while they make massive Profit.
Now a trader(retailer) Sees an Uptrend or Downtrend in the market and wishes to take advantage of the trend and also send his stop loss, but then there is a back lash boom the market reverses hitting the retailers stop loss causing some massive Fakeout.
Now this is caused by the big financial institutions reinvesting in the market and causing an abrupt reversal from the normal trends causing a hit on an already set stop loss of a retailer and thereby causing losses.
In this cases the retailer is being traped and looses while the whales trader moves free and gains.
I might want to deviate a bit and say that the whales traders can also use some fundamental news to cause Fakeout trapping, in that they make a news of a proxy investment and the retail traders invest their tokens setting thier stop losses and take profit just for the reverse to happen an the whales gain while they loose.
Below are two chats to show fake out for buyers and sellers cases..
When buyers are trapped.
In view of the chat above at the point between April and May 2021, there is an increased activities of selling of the BTCUSDT causing liquidity at the time. So at this point the trader sets his stop loss above the Liquidity point but then just for the market to hit the set stop loss and the market takes a downturn trapping the traders and conversely causing a loss to the retail traders.
When sellers are trapped
Looking at the chart shit of the STEEMUSD pair the price takes a downtrend showing a large Investment of the whales on the trend making it go that direction. A trader seeing the Liquidity approach is decieve so he/she sets the stop loss as seen the above. But then there is a converse reaction triggering the stop loss because of a reinvestment made by whales so the market takes a u turn and then proceeds to hit the set stop loss, trapping the trader in between and causing losses.
