Why Retail Traders Get Trapped During War News
- Emotional Panic Selling: Negative headlines lead to fear-based selling, especially from retail participants who lack a plan. Institutions use this to buy at discounted prices.
- Fake Breakdowns and Traps: Price may break key levels during war news, only to reverse sharply as soon as stops are taken out. This is a classic liquidity grab.
- Overreaction to News Events: Headlines exaggerate potential impact. But smart money knows the difference between short-term noise and long-term fundamentals.
- Sudden Volatility Spikes: Algos create wild intraday swings to trigger both sides of liquidity before real direction is decided.
How Smart Money Handles War-Based Market Moves
- They Wait for Extremes: Institutions don’t chase panic — they wait for price to hit demand/supply zones before entering.
- They Observe Volume Behavior: Smart money watches for volume spikes with weak price moves to detect exhaustion and potential reversals.
- They Buy When Fear Peaks: When retail is most fearful, institutions begin accumulating quietly — this is why markets often rally after bad news.
