Weekend Price Action Sets Stage for Monday Leverage Trades

When the weekend arrives and trading volume drops, market makers take advantage of low liquidity to profit from price movements.

This phenomenon is particularly pronounced on Monday mornings in cryptocurrency markets, where institutional spot bids are often absent until the day begins.

As a result, market makers can sweep both sides of a trade before the market opens, creating potential opportunities for high leverage trading.

KuCoin notes that without institutional spot bids, market makers tend to capitalize on price movements at the start of the week, and speculates that Bitcoin may gap up when the CME open takes place on Monday.
