Price moves fast through low volume zones where few traders have positions. When momentum hits these gaps, there's little resistance, so price shoots to the next cluster of traders. It's not a stop-loss hunt, just how markets work.
Why did price just rip through your level in 2 seconds? I'll give you 3 seconds to answer. 1, 2, 3. It's not random, and it's not the market hunting your stop loss. Trust me, price moves fast through certain areas for one reason: nobody was positioned there. These areas are called low volume nodes, and you use the volume profile to spot them. And the logic behind this is that when a lot of volume trades at a price, The market's likely going to slow down when it hits into it because traders are positioned there. They defend at these high volume nodes, but in a low volume node, nobody is positioned. Nothing is slowing price down. So when it enters one of these areas and you have a lot of momentum, it's likely going to rush to the next place where traders are actually positioned. It's not a stop hunt. This is just how markets work. And once you see the market from this perspective, everything changes. Save this and study it the next time you're at the charts.
