⚙️ Trading Strategy

Buy after 10% dump with cascade liquidations

After a 10% dump with cascade liquidations, sellers are exhausted—they've been forced out. Luke buys the bounce, targeting 5%.

🎯 Best Suited For

Post-liquidation bounces

"One man's margin call is my entry signal."

📜 Why This Strategy Works

Once the leveraged traders are gone, only unleveraged sellers remain—and they're not forced to sell.
