Manipulation

Daily "Manipulations"So here is a perfect example how the Institutions operate on a daily and weekly basis and how order flow works. We got this gap because the institutions trapped traders into the believe that price would go higher and many orders were stuck there over the weekend. Then we got a small gap signaling buying pressure while in reality the institutions sucked in orders to build their position (maybe only short term in a bigger cycle). The gap also faked some people out because they believed that this was a valid double Top there. They then just went 3.5 Pips higher to trick people into more buy orders so they could prepare for the final big move. Just another day, same methods. Trading is all about probabilities and order flow that creates those patterns. On the lower timeframes those "patterns" are unreliable because all the pending orders and such create heavy noise at important levels and those patterns are more a result of that noise and HFT firms than a planned move within itself. So we should stick to higher timeframe confluences. But anyways, this is how it works. Cheers

Exceptional speculation from mid April '18 onwardsUsing an updated chart of earlier posted opportunity around AUDUSD (AU) I like to highlight and illustrate the exceptional speculation that has been going on since mid April onwards. The first and many incidence of the same speculation has often seen coming in very sudden which indicates a single source instead of graduate forming of buying/selling pressure you see normally when larger long term trends are forming. Only news events cause such sudden incoming interest in the buying or selling of an asset when it's coming from a group, but then there have to be a profound reason for it been in the news and it always dies out within a few hours. Quite often we have seen USD buying surges since mid April not complying with any of these rules on top of that these volumes were sometimes hidden from public pools and planned very timely to exactly block a USD bearish cycle from bringing down the value of USD or a potential opposite interest such as London open. The latter is just too silly to observe, suddenly on Tuesday morning Asia timezone when there are normally low volumes until one hour before London open, there would be a ridiculous sudden surge of GU and EU selling at a time it was never seen before. There is simply also no reasonable explanation for anybody selling GU and EU at that time other to stopping GBP and EUR from being appreciated. Nobody says a word and nobody writes about it since that I have noticed these out of place events. There are some economists speaking in youtube videos but searching for manipulation of USD returns litle results on Google and first few entries are about China manipulating their currency and Google's very nice suggestion list doesn't show a single entry when typing it out into the search field. Well, everybody knows that every single central bank is doing it, all of them. They call it market operations and it published on their websites. Look at the implementation notes published by the FED May this year or read on about RBA market operations published clear in public, just to name two examples but all central banks list it as normal operational tasks as part of their portfolio of services. Yet search seems to return limited results, making everyone believe very few people are interested in this business. Something so important as a ring-network of almighty controllers manipulating the financial market on a daily basis and nobody would be interested. That doesn't glue very well with me, censored it is, big time, for only one reason, this network of market operators have a lot to hide. More than they trying to let the everyone believe with their website publications. The dangers are that like this year the speculators are all making to believe the sudden interest is genuine, just to grow a large group of supporters because the FED know it can't beat macroeconomic cycles. At one the these will overpower the built up speculative forces against the macros over 6 months and that contr force will be stronger than ever seen on the market and speculators will realise that at one point in time and start selling on top of the macro selling pressure. That combined could give us the strongest ever seen sling back down from high up reaching far below it normally would go, the so called overshoot could reach the opposite side of the market at USDJPY 67...

When will the Plunge Protection Team strike?That the Plunge Protection Team has been called in means there is big trouble! The PPT is a real lawful entity designed to manipulate the US Stock Markets. It is officially known as the Working Group on Financial Markets (WGFM). It was created by by President Reagan’s Executive Order 12631 in 1988 following the 1987 crash. Its purpose is to lawfully prevent catastrophic market crashes. All the above factual knowledge is available from reputable sources findable via your fav search engine. This is both good and bad news. Those short in the market could protect their positions - and if they have enough guts take long positions for a limited period. It's not my business to say when to do this, as I have no advance knowledge of the future or when the PPT will strike! Note carefully that my language above is speculative, except that Dow and Wall Street are in big trouble. This is now common knowledge as the fall in the market has well exceeded the respected figure of 16%. If/when the PPT weighs in it'll have to be with billions and billions of US-Dollars, as loads of people are likely to set up sell orders for the next opening of the markets. That the PPT has been called in does not mean that they have a 100% chance of moving the US markets north. It all depends on whether they have enough to push back the deluge of selling they're likely to meet. Nobody I know, knows exactly how the PPT works. Perhaps they will get first orders, beating back all regular investors from selling or shorting . That would make sense. If they are successful, Forex pairs especially those with Yen and AUD could be affected by indirect effect. What it would mean for US-Dollar strength, is another problem. Note also that other countries have variants of the PPT, some operating covertly.

BTC manipulation. Big boys game vs Bakkt delays. What's next? Hi everyone, I am looking to Bitcoin from another perspektive. Why this drop happens in this strong months? Why Bakkt delays Bitcoin futures launch? Why is drop start one day before Bakkt info public? Big players play with us and with hodlers, they want to BTC cheap, Institutions buy bitcoin cheap for your futures interest. Is Bitcoin for 3-4000usd cheap enough? I think that this players after 20. November just accumulate Bitcoins, new wallets with big transactions open after drop, this can be last chance catch this price. Wallets: bitinfocharts.com Look at second wallets or another. If you have some idea about this or futures for price BTC or another perspective please leave in comment. Dont forget likes or follow :) Thank you
