Markets are once again following a familiar pattern: first, an asset is hyped up with a catchy story, then abruptly dumped. This happened with gold, this happened with Bitcoin. Now, with oil.
In recent months, we've seen three nearly identical pump-and-dump schemes:
• Gold rose for a long time on fears and expectations, then collapsed for no apparent reason.
• Bitcoin soared to $126,000 on ETF hype, then lost almost half its value.
• Oil soared to $119 on news of threats in the Strait of Hormuz—and then plunged more than 30% in a few hours after the "reassured" news about pipelines.
Each time, the crowd is hyped up, a sense of inevitable growth is created, and then, in one fell swoop, stop-losses are triggered and positions are dumped. And each time, the explanation sounds good, but it doesn't stand up to reality.
Who wins in this game? Those who see orders control liquidity and receive news before anyone else. Why is this legal? Because the system is designed in such a way that manipulation can easily be disguised as "market dynamics."
A full analysis of the scheme, examples, details, and an explanation of why this will happen again are available in the full version of the article on Telegram. Read the rest: t.me/crypto_yan/178
