🛑 Why Are You Losing in Crypto? The Hidden Traps of Market Structure
You have learned a very simple rule: "If there are high peaks, it’s an uptrend; if there are low peaks, it’s a downtrend." But in reality, the crypto market uses your "textbook knowledge" against you as a weapon.
Let me explain why most traders fall into traps and how that break we call Market Structure Shift (MSS) actually occurs.
1. Price Crossing a Level is NOT a "Breakout!"
Many open a "Long" position as soon as they see the price has crossed the previous peak. But it doesn’t take long for the price to quickly return. This is not a structural break, it is simply a liquidity sweep. The market collects your stop-losses to gather fuel for big players.
2. The 3 Golden Rules of True Structure Change
If you want to understand whether a movement is not a trap, look at these three elements:
Liquidity Sweep: The price must first gather the "bait" (stops) below or above.
Volume Return: The price must not only touch that level but also consolidate there.
Calm Start: If the movement is very hasty and at a "panic" level of speed, know that this is a trap. Strong movements usually start quietly and deeply.
3. Timeframe Error
Your biggest mistake is concluding that "structure is broken" on a 5-minute chart. Remember: if the trend is still healthy on the 4-hour chart, a "broken" 5-minute chart is just noise. Crypto rewards context, not precision.
💡As a result:Our goal is not to take a piece from every movement, but to avoid those "false breakouts" designed to trap us. The market is aggressive and liquidity is scarce. Don’t be a part of that liquidity, stand with those who control it.
