The weekend was supposed to be a time for market consolidation, but instead, FRAX caught everyone off guard with a sudden surge. It shot up from 0.75 all the way to nearly 1.2, and the increase was truly intense. According to conventional logic, liquidity is usually thin on weekends, and large funds tend to wait for periods of higher trading volume before taking action. But this time, the trend completely broke the pattern, and the stop-loss orders were wiped out by this wave of movement.

Just look at BTC and ETH's performance over the past couple of days to see that market sentiment has clearly shifted. Many are speculating about what underlying logic is behind this unconventional rally. Is it the whales testing the depth during low liquidity on the weekend? Or is it influenced by a large buy order? Honestly, it's a bit frustrating—trading is inherently unpredictable, and often the stop-loss levels you think are safe end up being the targets for liquidation.

The weekend market indeed requires caution, and this lesson can be considered as paying tuition. Next time, you need to be more flexible in adjusting your strategy and not be bound by seemingly rational market logic.

ngl, if you look at the data on weekend liquidity, this frax move screams coordinated sweep tbh... low volume environments are literally a ponzi detective's playground. that "safe" stop loss? yeah, technically speaking it was never safe to begin with lol

Damn, I got stopped out again. This crazy weekend market is really outrageous. The move with FRAX was perfect, completely unpredictable. Stop-loss positions are always a joke. I think the safest place is the one being targeted. The big players really dare to play on weekends. Less liquidity actually becomes their big stage. Next time, I must change my strategy and not stick to the old methods.

Liquidity is poor over the weekend and the whales just wiped it out completely. That's the crypto world, haha. Wait, is it true that FRAX was pulled from 0.75 to 1.2? How many people lost out because of that? Another tragic case of stop-loss orders being wiped out. I keep saying don't trust too much in any "safe position."

Still want to slack off this weekend, but ended up being taught a lesson by FRAX. Raising from 0.75 to 1.2 is really outrageous. Cleared all stop-loss orders, this is the price of low liquidity, I guess. I think next weekend I should just avoid it and wait until Monday to see. The tactics of the big players are really incredible.
