STB and BTS Models: Reading Liquidity Before the Shift
Sell-to-buy and buy-to-sell models show how liquidity collection can prepare a new market leg.
STB means sell to buy. BTS means buy to sell. In plain language, both models describe a market that first moves in one direction to collect liquidity before preparing movement in the opposite direction.
A sell-to-buy sequence can push price lower, trigger stops or force weak hands out, and then use that liquidity to support a bullish leg. A buy-to-sell sequence can do the reverse near obvious resistance or crowded breakout areas.
These models are dangerous when treated as automatic reversal signals. A liquidity grab without confirmation can continue further than expected, especially in high-volatility crypto conditions.
The professional use is contextual: identify the liquidity event, wait for structure to confirm, define invalidation, and judge whether the reward justifies the entry location.
BlackHole language treats STB and BTS as scenario-building tools. They help traders describe what the market may be doing without pretending that every sweep must become a reversal.
