The talk of ETF approval is what's on board for now and because of this, many investors and holders are scared, thus, taking their profit before the market crashes.
This is what I concluded today too. It seems like the market manipulators are getting ready to take a big profit out of the market one way or another. If ETF is approved they'll try to "pump" bitcoin (so to speak) and take the profit that way and if it is not they will dump it by shorting it hard to make profit in a different way.
Either way, we are in for a short but volatile period soon.
P.S. There is a way their plans could fail which is if SEC postpones its decision like they always do, enough for the market to naturally enter the bull run so that their manipulation becomes ineffective (eg. shorting in case of rejection will only lead to their loss).
We have seen something quite deranged yesterday as well. The "SEC twitter account was hacked" doesn't feel like that is actually a thing to me, I feel like some people in the SEC got the approval to share that tweet, and some people had their hands on long and short.
So when that was shared, someone in the SEC knew that it would be shared, and opened a long position, made some insane money, then sold and used that money to short and then they shared "it was hacked" information, so it crashed. Some people who are in the know made some insane amount of money from it. I believe that is the reality, some people may not agree with me, some people may think it was all legit and nothing was wrong, but I find those people naïve if they think this was all a mistake.
A very obvious way on how to manipulate a market on which it is really just that normal that you would really be having those kind of doubts on making your next entry because of those manipulative acts
on which tons of people are really that having those doubts on entering the market due to this kind of behavior on which it isnt really something that acceptable but since we dont really have choice
then we do really need to deal with it. It is really that something that even on traditional markets are really that happening. Big players would really be always be having the advantage and this is why
as a retail trader or investor then you should really know on how to go with the flow or making out decisions which it would really be getting in line with theirs.
Yes, it wont be that easy but having that counter trend kind like of mindset then it would really be that also hard. So outcome and profitability will really be
that determining on how well you would really be making out such decision towards your position because not all would really be that good when it comes to this.
There are ones who are really that being too impulsive when they do see those FUDs and negative prices or value.
