The concept of Liquidity Levels

In trading market, liquidity is referred to a level where significant trading activity happens in form of filling many orders. There are important levels where buyers or sellers have placed pending orders in hope that the market will reach those levels and their orders will be triggered. Similarly, there are important levels where traders have put their stop losses in case the market goes beyond those levels and they cut their losses. These levels are often referred to as Liquidity Levels because they provide the liquidity for the market to fill these orders.

I am showing you Bitcoin daily chart and marking a few of the important liquidity levels. One of the key things to know about an important liquidity level is to see a significant or quick reversal from a certain level often displayed by Pinbars or hammers candlestick patterns.

What are Fakeouts and Why traders are trapped in Fakeouts

Whenever price reaches some important liquidity level, there are chances that it will be manipulated by the Institutional money to take out the retail traders stop losses. Normally, retail trades placed their stop losses above or below these liquidity levels. So Big Financial Institutions will inject volume in the market and will make the price break those levels.

This will make retail traders think that price has broken that level and they will enter in the same direction price is moving. In reality, this price move is taking out the stop losses of retail traders, placed above or below these levels. After taking their required liquidity, the institutions will reverse the price movement by injecting volume in opposite direction. This will result in quick reversal of the price movement and the initial movement will be called Fakeout.

Most of the retail traders are now trapped in their orders that they placed by seeing the early fast move on the apparent break of those liquidity levels. They simply are just hoping the price will continue the movement again but that will not happen because Financial Institutions have made their money by moving the price and then bringing it back to the original level.

How to Trade Liquidity Levels the Right Way

Now, I will explain that how you can avoid getting trapped in these fakeouts and trade these liquidity levels the right way. Here you will need to have one more look at my previous two courses where I have explained trading the market structure break and trading the BRB setups.

The reason why I am saying it is because there will be 2 possibilities when the price reaches these liquidity levels. The price will reverse from these levels or it will break these levels to continue the move. I have explained both these strategies in my previous lectures.

1 - Market Structure Break (MSB) Strategy to Trade Reversal
2 - Break Retest Break (BRB) Strategy to Trade Continuation

Now, the right way to trade these liquidity levels is to wait for the formation of a proper MSB setup to confirm the reversal. Then you should be taking trade according to the criteria of MSB strategy. In another scenario, you should wait for the formation of proper BRB setup and take continuation trade according to the criteria of BRB strategy.

You can mark the liquidity levels on higher time frames like daily or H4 charts and to confirm the setup you should move to lower time frame like 1 hour or 15 minutes. I am showing you the bitcoin chart with examples of MSB trade and BRB trade on liquidity levels.

Avoiding Fakeouts using Liquidity Levels trading strategy

If you just follow these 2 strategies (MSB and BRD) on these liquidity levels, it is very easy to avoid the fakeout because you will not enter into any trade on simple break. Instead, you will be waiting for Break Retest and Break setup and then enter in the market. Most of the time market will continue its trend when formed BRB setups.

If you see that price has given a fakeout then you should be ready to look for MSB setup to trade the reversal from that level. In this way, you can trade in both scenarios and will have clarity in mind about the trade you are taking. Trading the liquidity levels using MSB and BRB setups will make things easier for you and getting trapped in fakeouts will be a old memory.

Examples of Liquidity Levels Trades on Crypto Assets

I am sharing examples of the Liquidity levels trades on crypto assets for both scenarios i.e. reversal and continuation.
