Don’t think you have unlimited choices when facing the market manipulators! Let me tell you, every move you make is dictated by the storyline they set for you. You’re just reacting, not choosing. No.1: Sellers set the price, not buyers. No.2: In the short term, they heavily control the market, create volatility, liquidate contracts, and target short-term retail traders. No.3: In the long term, they pump during large cycles, sell off in batches at the top, and leave retail investors holding the bag. In market operations, a complete manipulation process usually includes 10 steps, in order: accumulation, testing, consolidation, initial rise, shakeout, rally, distribution, rebound, dump, and cleanup. (Of course, some may only include part of these steps.)
