According to Liquidity Doctor (@doctortraderr), recent crypto price action showed a classic market maker strategy: after forming a bearish engulfing candle, the price was quickly pumped at the next candle's open, triggering short positions and stop-loss orders. This 'nasty price action' led to a short squeeze, causing retail traders' stop-losses to be hit before the price reversed. Traders are advised to watch for similar trap patterns and adjust risk management strategies, as such volatility can present both risks and new trading opportunities (source: Twitter/@doctortraderr, May 19, 2025).
