What are Sell Walls in Crypto Trading?
This is a question that repeatedly comes up in crypto trading groups. Sell walls are large sell orders. Buy walls are large buy orders. It is simple as that. These walls are used by whales to move markets. They are pretty easy to spot. Noobs tend to run scared when they see sell walls and buy when they see a buy wall. Take a step back and take a deep breath.

What I Do When I See Sell Walls and Buy Walls Pop Up.
I try to figure out what is happening. Is it a pump and dump group trying to push the price up. Is a whale trying to push the price down into their buy orders? I am very cautious when I am buying with a false buy wall present and I do not sell with a false sell wall. The only time that I disregard this is when there is either positive news or negative news. In this case it could be regular market behavior.
