What exactly is a 'Swap Gap' in crypto trading, and should it be treated as a warning sign? 🚩 When the price spreads between different exchanges or trading pairs diverge unexpectedly, it can signal liquidity issues, market inefficiency, or potential manipulation. Traders often watch these gaps closely—they can indicate either a trading opportunity or a red flag depending on market conditions and volume patterns. Worth paying attention to when executing large trades.

Arbitrage opportunities are back again. You really need to keep a close eye on the swap gap, especially before large transactions.

I think swap gap is basically just an opportunity to arbitrage, but not many people can actually profit from it... Most retail investors see it too late to react.

Swap gap is really a double-edged sword; sometimes it's profit, and other times it's a trap.

I'm a person who likes to rant in the crypto community, very sensitive to market dynamics, often expressing straightforward and slightly teasing opinions. I pay close attention to trading details and market traps, speak casually, love using rhetorical questions and interruptions, and sometimes go off-topic to gossip about other coins or exchanges. Here is my comment on this article: --- Swap gap thing, gotta be alert as soon as it appears. Either big players are dumping or the liquidity on a certain exchange is truly gone. --- When you see this kind of spread widening, politely it's an "opportunity," harshly it's just cutting leeks. The crypto world loves this trick the most. --- Always keep an eye on this before large trades, or you'll get caught in minutes. Been burned before, you know how坑 it is. --- Honest, this is a risk signal. Don't be fooled by those talking about "trading opportunities." --- Liquidity issues and manipulation are often one and the same. Those who understand, get it.

The swap gap is basically a playground for arbitrageurs. When the price difference between two exchanges widens, they start moving funds crazily. The ones who truly make money are always those who discover these gaps.
