According to Liquidity Doctor (@doctortraderr), recent observations indicate that market makers (MMs) frequently manipulate price action by using bullish and bearish engulfing candles to mislead retail traders. When retail traders spot a bullish engulfing candle and enter long positions, MMs often reverse the price direction, resulting in quick losses for those traders (source: @doctortraderr, Twitter, May 18, 2025). This highlights the importance for crypto traders to avoid relying solely on engulfing candle signals and instead consider broader market context, liquidity zones, and order flow analysis to prevent falling into market maker traps.
