Why 90% of Traders Fail at Support & Resistance (The Truth)Gold / U.S. DollarFOREXCOM:XAUUSDPremiumTrader57Why 90% of Traders Fail at Support & Resistance (The Liquidity Truth) 🧠Most retail traders draw lines on a chart and expect the market to bounce like a brick wall. The market does not care about your line; it cares about liquidity. Every obvious double top or clean support shelf has one thing resting right behind it: clusters of retail stop orders. Smart money algorithms cannot fill massive multi-million-dollar positions inside low-volume consolidation ranges. They need liquidity. To buy massive size, they must trigger sell stops. That is why price repeatedly wicks below your "strong floor," takes you out, and immediately takes off without you. Stop trading the line and start trading the sweep. I watch for the liquidity grab to happen first, wait for aggressive displacement back inside the range, and enter on the retest of the imbalance. A sustained close back inside the broken base confirms absorption; a continuous flush without reclaiming the level cancels the reversal thesis. Wait for the market to take the weak hands out before putting your capital to work. Educational purposes only. Not financial advice.
