From my experience here, with losses and gains, I can honestly tell you that both the market (like life) is not a cold machine… it is a field of collective consciousness with rules and traps. Every violent movement that breaks continuity is an event seeking reaction. There, the market stops being an exchange system and becomes a psychological experiment.
Before a collapse, there is usually an orderly progression that gives an apparent stability, followed by a micro-distribution that reflects the fatigue of the impulse and a false continuity that induces confidence. Then the 'volatile' candles appear and make a deep sweep, with abnormal speed and a partial recovery without structure. This is the capture of emotional liquidity. Institutions provoke and operate human probabilities. That sweep cleans stops (heat maps), forces sales out of fear, activates margin calls, and reallocates contracts from weak hands to strong hands. The market was emptied and your psyche was harmed. 🤕 because the market lives off your urgency, your need for certainty and belonging. 🙉
