🚨 The Market Is Not Fair — Here's How Price Makers Rig It
1/
Ever felt like the market knows when you enter a trade?
Like it hits your stop-loss and instantly reverses?
You're not crazy.
You're up against price makers — and here's how they play you. 🧵👇
2/
🎭 Illusion of Demand/Supply
They use massive fake orders (spoofing) to create pressure.
You see a wall of buys? Looks bullish.
But they remove it last second.
You buy. They sell.
You’re the exit liquidity.
3/
🔪 Stop-Loss Hunting
They push price just low enough to trigger retail stop-losses.
It's like shaking the tree to make weak hands fall off.
Then?
They buy your fear — and ride the price up.

📰 Weaponized News
Need panic?
Drop bad news at just the right time.
Need FOMO?
Push bullish narratives right before a dump.
Controlling emotions = controlling the market.
5/
🎢 Pump & Dump (Still Alive)
Especially in small-cap coins:
They buy in bulk, then hype it up — influencers, volume, price action.
You enter late.
They exit early.
You hold the bag. 🎒
6/
♻️ Wash Trading
Big volume = attention.
So they trade back and forth between their own accounts.
Volume spikes.
You think: “Something’s happening!”
It was all fake.
Now you're the volume.
7/
💼 They Own the Liquidity Pools
DeFi or CEX — doesn't matter.
The biggest players are the liquidity.
They know where your money goes before you do.
Sometimes, they're the other side of your trade.
8/
🧠 How to Survive It
Don't chase pumps.
Watch for fake volume.
Know that manipulation is part of the game.
Zoom out, manage risk, play the long game.
