Many retail traders have buy orders (buy-side liquidity) that big players (institutions) can take.
First, they grab all the buy-side liquidity. Next, they target sell-side liquidity by creating false breakouts. Then, they push the price down to a strong support or demand zone (bearish move).
After that, they reverse the price up (bullish move) and take any remaining buy-side liquidity.
