$PIPPIN 2. Why is there a 1-minute candle from 0.70 → 0.76?

That’s called:

💣 “Liquidity grab + market order chain”

Happens like this:

Step 1:

Price is at 0.70
Many shorts, stop-loss at 0.75

Step 2:

Whale pushes the price with large orders → up to 0.73

Step 3:

Hits stop-loss → a series of market buy orders trigger

Step 4:

Buy → pushes the price further → activates more stop-losses

Step 5:

Creates a “staircase” pattern → jumps to 0.76 in a few seconds

Done…

Step 6:

Whale sells off → price drops freely 📉

🧠 3. So how do retail traders like us survive?

Cannot fight the system ❌
Can only avoid it ✅

⸻

✅ HOW TO AVOID STOP HUNTING

🎯 1. Don’t place at round numbers

Avoid:
0.70 – 0.75 – 0.80 ❌

Place:
0.763 – 0.768 – 0.742 ✅

⸻

🎯 2. Don’t short/long right before crowded zones

See the price approaching a strong top/bottom →
Wait for it to finish the sweep before entering

Example:
Resistance: 0.75
→ Wait for it to go to 0.76 → create a reversal candle → then short

⸻

🎯 3. Use “mental stop” when awake

During the day:
Don’t set hard stop-losses
Monitor manually

At night:
Must set stop-loss → set it further away

⸻

🎯 4. Trade based on “fake break”

Fake break = rely on whales 😄

Example:
Price breaks 0.75 → goes up to 0.76 → pulls back

→ Enter short there = the best move
