Alternatively one has to identify where could be the possible maximum sellers liquidity so that big players can drive the market towards the zone (also called as stop hunting) to and get the liquidity.

How by driving the Market Lower you get sellers liquidity?

There are various ways to manipulate liquidity. One of the easiest way is most of the intraday players/positional players have a habit of placing their stop loss at days low, days high, prev day high/low, weekly high/low zones. Possibly the buyers who entered in the market at the market open and the one who entered late seeing the breakout rally would believed that Current Day’s low or Prev Days High or 3 Day high as a potential support zone.

More over many participants those who are watching from outside who wants to enter shorts are the ones who wants markets to break those support zones........
