News Doesn’t Move Markets — Liquidity Does Most retail traders obsess over news headlines, thinking they’re the cause of market moves. But in truth, liquidity moves the market — and news is just the timing mechanism. Here’s how: Price builds liquidity zones over hours/days (equal highs, unfilled gaps) Just before a major news release (NFP, CPI, etc.), price often hovers near liquidity News hits → triggers the sweep → real move happens after The key: Anticipate where price is drawn — not what the news will say Use HTF structure + OBs to see where price wants to go Wait for the news to trigger the sweep, then trade the real move Smart traders don’t gamble on news. They let news become the excuse for a liquidity grab — and they’re already prepared with a trade plan. The truth? The market knows the move before you do. You just need to see what it’s hunting. #CommunityAMA
