Have you witnessed price manipulation in action?
It's no myth...
And if you're not careful, you could get caught with your pants down.

Giants in the playground, practiced in the art of weaponizing their wealth.
Throwing around more money than most can imagine.

The first time I watched this in real time, I had no idea what was happening.

Unbelievably massive orders were getting placed... removed and then replaced instantly.
Trades were executing so fast there was no way I could keep up with what was happening.
Price swinging up and down wildly.

It seemed so chaotic... disorganized.
In reality the opposite was true - it was exactly as designed.

Each part of that situation was beautifully choreographed, like a violent ballet.
Every action deliberate in its goal to get an emotional response.

And it works.
Of course it works, they wouldn't do it otherwise.
It is highly illegal, after all.

Not understanding what was happening in that situation was dangerous.
This time the goal emotional response was FOMO - the Fear Of Missing Out.
The market manipulator was encouraging that emotion so that other traders would buy.

But this wasn't because the giant wanted the price to go up...
Instead... They were selling their bags and getting out.
Once they sold what they wanted to get rid off, they stopped holding the price up

It crashed - fast.
All those people who bought emotionally... Staring at big losses.

Have you ever been caught holding the bag?

Manipulation of this type exist in all markets including stocks and forex and that is why I agree with this saying that "The rich and those with huge capital markets more profits than loses " because they can turn the loses to profits through manipulation like the one you have given. The wise thing is to know when this manipulation is going on and when really traders are taking investments decision and invest on both sides by staying in the same directions.
