Maybe from my personal attitude when the market experiences price fluctuations with price manipulation, actually you can choose to further activate your neocortex, then think objectively with the help of facts and data. With objective thinking, you can protect easily when there is a panic selling action in the market so you can stay calm and think objectively, because you need the right strategy and a good trading plan.
If we want to look deeper, actually this panic selling action is not only caused by issues, rumors, socio-political turmoil, or other external factors. The main cause of panic selling is the instability and uncontrollable condition of investor / trader psychology. This is also related to the way the human brain works in response to problems. When someone does panic selling, that means he is responding to a problem using a brain that is not calm and clear..
