The market isn’t hunting you.

It’s hunting liquidity.

Retail positions create predictable stop clusters:

• longs place SLs below lows

• shorts place SLs above highs

When those stops trigger, they become market orders.

That forced flow is valuable liquidity for larger participants and market makers.

So price often does this:

entry → squeeze → stop sweep → liquidity collected → reversal

That’s why it feels personal.

It isn’t.

It’s microstructure.

The market doesn’t chase traders.
It chases executable liquidity. ⚡
