Does a manipulator really think opposite of what an average person think? I wouldn't agrre with people who only answer this question yes or no. That's not a simple yes/no question. We all sure about that they think diffrently and manipulators must be unpredictable. Also manipulators behaves like a wolf pack, track their preys' behaivor, and they don't hesitate.
I surely feel that a big investor will think different than the rest of the people will think. For example the current price of Bitcoin is around 3800 what will the normal investor think in that case? Well he would buy. Let's talk about a big investor and experience investor. When they buy? No. Reason? They're still waiting for the last leg of the downfall of Bitcoin price and that will be the real price that they would wish to pay to purchase Bitcoin. Big investors are more patient than average investors and hence they make big profits. They don't just invest but they drive the market. They understand the Futures Contract expiry dates and then the stand that in order to win their to play in both markets. They make money both win between moves up and down
