📉 The Trump–Powell panic wasn’t news — it was engineered
Big players needed liquidity. So they made it.
Here’s how it worked:
NYT reports:
Trump drafted a letter to fire Powell
The dollar drops. Gold spikes. BTC chops.
15 minutes later — Trump walks it back:
I’m not planning anything.
The dollar rebounds. Liquidity window closed.
🔸Step 1 — A fund wants size
They want to build a large position — but there aren’t enough sellers at current prices.
They can’t just market buy without causing slippage.
So they create fear — and buy from those selling in panic.
🔸 Step 2 — Commission the FUD
It starts with a planted article on a small site no one reads.
That piece becomes a source for a major journalist.
Now it’s “real” news with fake origins.
🔸 Step 3 — Spin and amplify
Freelancers get paid to echo the narrative across bigger media.
Old contacts get pinged — “It’s already on Reuters.”
Crypto Twitter joins in with “fired,” “collapse,” “panic.”
🔸 Step 4 — Execute the dump
A custom algo hits thin books on venues tied to index pricing.
Price drops fast — just enough to trigger fear and liquidations.
Retail sells into the move, thinking it’s just beginning.
🔸 Step 5 — Smart money enters
Stops are hit. Volatility spikes.
Now there’s liquidity — and the fund buys in scale.
Retail is out. Smart money is in.
🔸 Step 6 — Flip the narrative
A new headline drops: “Trump says he’s not planning anything.”
Sentiment cools. Price recovers. The move is complete.
🎯 Takeaway
If you see the headline, the real trade already happened.
This playbook repeats — and if you don’t recognize it, you’re part of it.
