What is Stop Hunt?
A deliberate attempt to push the price of an asset to a level where many traders have placed their stop-loss orders.
In-Depth Explanation
While often blamed on "manipulation," stop hunts are a natural result of the market seeking liquidity. They typically occur at psychological levels or obvious structural highs and lows.
Practical Example
"The market "hunted" the stops sitting at 1.2500 before continuing the original uptrend."
