What you’ll learn: what liquidity actually is (trading size without moving price – and why it lives in the order book, not on the chart), thick books vs thin books and why the same order produces completely different moves, the map of liquidity pools – stops under lows, stops and breakout orders above highs, and round numbers, why big money needs the pools to fill (fills need fuel), the three pool types on every chart including equal highs, liquidity sweeps and stop hunts demystified from the inside, why thin weekend books move violently, support and resistance re-explained as resting orders, the depth chart live on Coinbase, and the full anatomy of a stop run – why price stabs past your level and reverses. Homework: mark yesterday’s high, yesterday’s low and the nearest round number, watch one session – first 50 graded.
