hmm... look its quiet simple, financial institutions are 100% in support of anything they can turn a profit on, including Bitcoin.

But large financial institutions have to buy in large volume, if they attempt to do this the market responds by driving the price up, so in order to do this efficiently they will do everything they can, to push the price as low as they can, which includes making statements in the media that bitcoin is f*cked.

When the retail sellers panic and sell, the large financial institutions will suck up all that panic coin.
Once they have their volume they will do a U-turn and drive the price up.... rinse, repeat ad infinitum.
