Yesterday, ETH surged to the 3131 level, and many people's 3130 stop-loss orders were swept just like that. It may seem accidental, but in fact, we've seen this routine too many times.

To put it simply, many traders like to place orders at support levels, not realizing that this is precisely the most vulnerable spot to be targeted. The market makers know exactly how many short orders and stop-losses are stacked at the support level, making it their best hunting ground.

Instead of waiting passively, it's better to follow your own trading strategy. As long as you have a clear plan—when to enter, when to exit, and how to respond to sudden volatility—you can often come out unscathed during such shakeouts, or even profit against the trend. The 3131 this time is a vivid example.

ETH-4,56%

3130 was swept again. To be honest, I've seen this many times; the manipulators' tactics are indeed sophisticated. I feel like I still need to rely on my own strategy. Don't blindly defend the support level; that's just a trap. This wave of 3131 was truly a textbook-level shakeout, targeting those who took sides and got sniped. Placing orders at the support level—aren't they just throwing a feast for the manipulators? Serves them right. How come so many people are still placing stop-loss orders at the support level? Can't learn, huh.

Here we go again with this? The support level is just a slaughterhouse, how many times have we been taught that? Every time they say there's a plan, but in the end, orders are still being wiped out. Who can really execute with cold blood?

又被扫单了，这套路真的烂大街。不按计划交易的人活该被割。庄家最爱的就是整齐的止损单，一扫一大片。这就是为啥我从不挂死单，每次都手动应对。 3131那一下，看着就像是精准狙击，哈哈。靠止损位活着的交易者迟早得死在止损位。明确计划真的救命啊，这次又见证了。支撑位最危险，大多数人还没反应过来。一个清晰的策略，能让你在洗盘里活蹦乱跳。止损单=庄家的自助菜单，爱用的人自己找死。

ngl the 3131 wick was *chef's kiss* textbook liquidity grab... but here's the thing—if you're still putting stops at round numbers in 2024, you basically deserve it at this point

Got swept again. Serves you right for placing orders at support levels. The big players are just playing this way, they know it all too well. I’ve said it before, you need to have your own plan and not be so passive.

The 3130 wave was indeed brutal, just one point away from being wiped out. The dealer's tricks are really skillful, always hovering around the support level. Speaking of having a clear plan, you still have to follow it; who can you blame for blindly following the trend? It's both a shakeout and a sniper attack; in the end, retail investors all have to pay tuition fees. Actually, it's just about not piling chips in obvious places. Everyone understands this principle, but no one actually does it.
