In this YouTube short, The Art Of Crypto explains what liquidity means in a trading context. He describes how a series of roughly equal highs and lows creates price levels that traders interpret as support or resistance. Because many retail traders place stop‑loss orders just beyond these perceived levels, a concentration of pending orders builds up. Market makers recognize these clusters and can deliberately move price to those zones, triggering the stop‑losses and capturing the resulting liquidity for profit. The video’s purpose is to teach viewers how to spot these liquidity pools by looking for repeated equal highs/lows and to understand the dynamics that allow market makers to exploit them.

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.
