In this short video, the speaker defines market liquidity by describing how clusters of equal highs and lows on a chart create perceived support or resistance levels. Retail traders tend to place stop‑loss orders around these zones, assuming the price will bounce. Market makers recognize these clustered stop‑loss orders and deliberately move price toward those levels to trigger the stops, allowing them to capture profit. The explanation highlights the relationship between price patterns, trader psychology, and the way market makers exploit liquidity pockets.

Now, what is the definition of liquidity? Basically, all of these previous lows here, and especially here, as well as here, where you see like relatively equal lows and relatively equal highs, will cause retail traders or just a lot of traders to believe that that level is resistance or quote unquote support. And when that happens, the market makers are immediately going to know that a lot of people are going to place a stop loss here and a lot of people are going to place a stop loss above here. So if they bring the price to this level, a lot of people are going to get stopped out and the market makers are going to make tons of money.
