Speaker Kosta Ouzas explains how market makers exploit pre-existing pockets of liquidity visible on BTC liquidity heat maps. In this excerpt he describes a liquidity pocket that had built up since late June/early July at around 25x leverage; market makers allegedly filled order books around news-driven spikes and then removed that liquidity, harvesting it during the event.

That had been built up. You see this gap for quite a long time since June, July has actually been taken out, which is this pocket here. Now we can see what actually happened during that event. There was some, some local liquidity here at 25x leverage, quite a lot. Market makers then fill the order books and then they take out that liquidity. They use these news events in order to create these spikes. And they went down and basically harvested the liquidity that had been waiting and sitting there since June, end of June, start of July.
