Manipulation

Brokerages going to $0 fees creates a red flag in my headGreedy people do not give things away for free. The 1% are a perfect example of greed and they hoarding ridiculous amounts of cash. As opposed to paying their employees a livable wage they buy back their own stock to artificially make the price go up. Last I checked $1.1 trillion in stock buy backs and growing. This artificial value of "bought back" stock makes their investors more money so they can hoard it like Scrooge McDuck. Rinse, repeat. Google and Facebook don't really have a product to sell you; they provide most of their services for free. As we learned earlier in the post, greedy 1%ers do not give things away for free, they collect your behavioral data and sell it to the highest bidder. Which brings me to my main point, I suspect these brokerages are collecting your trading patterns and selling them to the highest bidders. Your trading patterns are plugged into a HFT algorithm and designed to create fear and anxiety and take your money. Secondly, if they change their price to $0 commissions they want you to make lots of trades. Most retail investors only understand how to go long or buy stocks; they are uncomfortable shorting the market. The 1% want you to buy artificially valued stocks while they crash and they also pay for fake news to make the company look strong. Third reason they are changing to $0 commission is to hold your idle cash and lend it out at a higher rate than they give you; a much higher rate. Schwab has a very large banking operation and they want to hoard your cash and lend it out to make more money. When I see $0 commission I see desperation not value. Our Federal Reserve system disperses dumb bets from our greedy 1% friends to the American public via inflation and bailouts. The 99%, or you and me, are left holding the bag from failed attempts of being more greedy or bad bets. Our financial system was built by the 1% to benefit the 1% via taxation. When they are giving you something for free that has value don't be fooled, you are the product. They are selling you to the highest bidder while they take your money via HFT. Our government and financial system is corrupted by money and they are shitting on us. This election cycle is not about left or right, it is about right and wrong. What is being done to the 99% by the 1% is wrong. I am a capitalist but I also have a good moral compass. Our financial system is morally wrong. How would you fix it? Lastly, since the stock market is 100% manipulated by stock buy backs and the creation/redemption process in the EFT market I suggest using the CICO Report in the public indicators on Tradingview. The CICO measures the running sum of new money into and out of the stock market. Don't let the fake news about trade wars and impeachment run your portfolio, be logical and use math. I have no affiliation with any financial or news organization. I am just a pissed off American that rejects this greed and corruption. I hope the CICO helps you make money. I want to you take as much money as possible from those greedy dickheads.

Even Gold Is Subject To Manipulation and ControlAll the hu ha hu ha of the Gold Bugs calling that Gold is a sound money and nothing can manipulate the Gold price. Gold is subject to supply and demand. The word manipulation has been abused by people so many times. They think that manipulation comes in the form that someone is trying to manipulate the price of an asset "SHORT TERM". Nope, short term manipulation can't work and will never be work. Manipulation that I have been referring to including in all my past ideas are "LONG TERM MANIPULATION". You need to understand that the dynamics of markets are moves by its participants. Therefore, the much easier way to manipulate a market is by doing that PSYCHOLOGICALLY. That's why bubbles ALWAYS exist, because it is the job of the manipulator to push the price of an asset BEYOND people BELIEFS and IMAGINATION in order to LURE THEM into it. If everyone is rational and behaves rationally, bubble WILL NOT EXIST. That's the reasons why there are so many dumb people and the number of people who understand financial literacy are awful. Because the system is designed in that way. It always about the Elite making money and RIPPING OFF the dumb people. So, the only way for you to win this battle is to THINK and BEHAVE like the Elite, NOT LIKE THE DUMB PEOPLE OR MONEY. You need to bring you conscious and awareness AWAY FROM MAINSTREAM and from the CONVENTIONAL WISDOM. Remember, the CROWD and MAJORITTY always wrong. That's who market works. Gold is an interesting case study. Its an example of how assets work and how capital flow works. Gold has never been going up forever. In fact, from 1980 to 2000, Gold SEVERELY underperformed the stock market. Even now, Gold started to go back up and start to fight back with stocks market. But can Gold outperform stocks? It depends, it depends on what the elites want to do. The tricky part here is that most retailers are NOT in stocks. So, the Elites can't simply drop and crash the market, because everyone has sold out. Its a tricky situation. And that's why I like to think in terms of whales and all these market manipulators, because they do exist and they do have strategic and comprehensive plan. As long as you keep thinking that you can beat the market, then you are doomed, You need to remove all the noises in your mind and start to think and behave like the elites/whales.

ETH, ME ENCANTA LA MANIPULACION Como vemos que se ha cumplido ese pronostico, deacuerdo a mi ultimo post acerca de eth. y es que las lineas de soporte y de resistencia, son las claves para poder manipular a las masas. A mi forma de ver, ellos tienen datos, y herramientas diferentes a nosotros, al menos unas cuantas, y es que el precio puede ir hacia donde la demanda u oferta lo requiere, pero sabiendo eso ellos, moveran el precio mas facil a su favor y/o como mas les convenga,... Por lo pronto ya que si engañaron a muchos, nos vamos hacia arriba, supongo yo a la linea de resistencia en la linea blanca, ahi venderia,. ya que si rompe, entramos de nuevo. suerte, A mi forma de ver, ellos ya dieron la pauta, ahora las masas compraran cada vez mas, cada vez que vaya rompiendo maximos,..pero a los 300 usd 280 usd, es hora de vender.

A clearer pictureAfter viewing many charts, hundreds, thousands? Try to imagine from experience of how this chart will look in a month, 2 ,3,6 months...IF it does go up from here to ATH's, THEN the chart would stand out in contrast with virtually any chart you've ever seen and undeniably prove the level at which BTC is manipulated. We'll have to wait and see how much they (institutional whales) want to expose themselves as the dirty banksters they are and who are the reason BTC was developed in the first place. When the USD is done dying, (which it's not showing the symptoms of currently but is on it's last leg) how will that affect the fractional reserve exchanges? Will they survive the transition when the Yuan or Ruble is the world's reserve currency? Update: As I've been writing this (not looking at price) I see it's risen unexpectedly...hmmmmm?

Very important pivot on BTC! $14K or $9K?! Lets wait and see!If you followed my previous assessment, you'll see that I called the bounce nearly perfectly: At the current market levels, we are at a very interesting point here. In the last few weeks and last July we have seen loads of market manipulation by the big money wallets. On July 14th for example, we saw an open of 11370.5 and a close of 10185.5 – a dump over $1,000 in a single day. On the 15th, we saw a rally only to be shut down by a $1,400 dump in a single day. What all of this means is that market manipulators are rinsing and repeating in this market right now, pump it to make retail investors fomo in, and them dumping it to liquidity zones where mainly retail traders are located at. This month we have seen a lot of movement to the upside and are in a current small correction for those moves – whether its accumulation or distribution is yet to be seen. I’m speculating that at our current level if we hold and bounce to the upside then we will go on to $14,000, however if we dump here I’m speculating we go back down to $9,000 to test that level again, and if we break then $8,500 is the next level I’ll be watching. Either way, there is no assured up or down prediction here. If July shows you anything, it’s that this market is moved by large wallet manipulators who want to take your money. Don’t be one of those losers who fomo and get liq’d, play it smart and watch for the market to decide on a clear direction. My personal opinion is we bounce here based on the July and August Pivot points marked in blue. Either way I’m not making a trade until we have clear direction. Cheers,

Your Favorite Bear ReportVolume Oscillation - paradigm shift on the belief. The attitude is gone. The Bull is in question and the traders are in waiting. Everyone is either looking for a deal to take this thing higher or they're looking for confirmation to get the hell out. We've dipped in volume to levels not seen since the start of the rally. RSI - Doesn't matter. Relative strength is uh.. No one cares.If price propagates around current levels for some time, the index could normalize and that'll give us relative room to go higher. If we do see a drop, the index will bottom out more suddenly and give us a new consolidation level fairly close to the current price. We're not going back down to $7,000 overnight. We'll likely test 10,500 and even 8,800 on the way down. There's really nothing else to make of the patterns other than we're clearly consolidating to make a decision from there. From what I've seen, you have got to be cautious on the way down. Short positions notoriously get knocked out when bitcoin gets to these longer termed consolidations. It'll throw up $500 increase on you before simmering back down to confirm an appropriate time to short. Don't just look for the price to leave the 'wedge' beneath the bottom portion of the triangle. Look for some volume and distance away from the dogpile.

After his success manipulating the US stock market...Donald Trump wants to devaluate the US dollar. From the South China Morning Post: "The euro – which has dropped nearly 10 per cent against the dollar since early 2018 – is 22 per cent undervalued versus the greenback, according to a purchasing power parity measure of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The dollar itself is considered too strong: in the Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s latest fund manager survey, a record 60 per cent of respondents saw the greenback as overvalued." Got my trading accounts in USD (and in XBT on my little Bitmex account :p). May be time to turn it to euro... The euro downtrend got weaker and weaker and it is looking like a possible reversal and it is undervalued anyway. I think it should go up in the long term. But I only think it would go up something like 10%, over a several months period. Not a huge deal. I see at least a buy trade if we go visit that area. I do not think it is necessary to look for a bottoming chart pattern. Stop loss can be set at 1.11 or a little below. Entry 1.11250 maybe. Are we going to get Trump tweets to try to move the USD valuation like with the stock market?
