Most traders lose money on alpha coins because they don’t understand this one thing:
Liquidity sweeps are NOT buy signals by default.
Alpha coins are thin, emotional, and heavily manipulated.
That’s why stop-hunts happen fast — and traps happen even faster.
Here’s the only way liquidity sweeps work on alpha coins ⬇️
A real sweep MUST have: • Clear sell-side liquidity taken
• A long rejection wick
• A strong volume spike (at least 2× average)
• A fast reclaim of the level
• A structure shift on 5m or 15m
Miss ONE of these?
It’s not a setup, it's a trap.
What traps look like: • Wick with no volume
• Slow grind back up
• Price stuck below key MAs
• “Looks cheap” logic
That’s not accumulation.
That’s exit liquidity.
How pros trade alpha sweeps: • Mark liquidity on 4H
• Wait for sweep + reclaim
• Enter only after structure break
• Tight stop below the wick
• Take profits fast — alpha coins don’t reward patience
Golden rule:
Wick alone means nothing.
Speed + volume = intent.
If the move doesn’t happen within a few candles, you’re already wrong.
This is how smart money farms impatient traders on low caps.
