A recent interesting phenomenon has gone viral—two days ago, a small coin trading pair experienced an extreme market event, with BTC price once surging to $24,100, causing major financial media outlets to rush to report.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out this was actually a technical anomaly. That trading pair showed a clear spike candlestick at a certain moment, but the exchange still displayed this abnormal candle without hiding or removing it.

What's even more interesting is looking at the trading data—this trading pair only had a $67 million trading volume in a day, while the main trading pairs of the same coin had more than 15 times that amount. Liquidity is severely lacking, the order book is shallow, making it easy for large orders to push prices to extreme levels. Small amounts of capital entering or leaving can create the illusion of a market collapse, which is common in low-depth trading pairs.

It's the same trick again. Small trading pairs with thin liquidity are easily pushed out of their prices by monsters and demons. You really need to be more cautious.

It's the same old trick. Small trading pairs with low liquidity are easily manipulated, and exchanges still don't handle abnormal K-lines, causing retail investors to be fooled every day.
