Honestly, I have seen through this script.
On Monday, he just called for raising tariffs on the whole world, and by Thursday he immediately changed his tone to say 'it's just a strategy'. How many contracts and spot positions were wiped out by Trump's words?
📉 Once the tax hike news came out, the market plunged overnight.
The Nasdaq and S&P both fell, and BTC briefly dropped below 75K. Retail investors started to cut their positions and go short, looking like 'the economic war is back'.
But do you think Trump really wants to take action? A few days later, his advisory team started to cool things down:
'It won't be implemented immediately; it's to increase leverage for negotiations.'
The market immediately rebounded, Bitcoin quickly pulled back, and the whole scene was like a well-planned harvesting drama.
🎭 It's not the price that's manipulated, but the emotions.
The market has taught me one thing over the years: 'What really drives price is not data, but narrative.'
And people like Trump are best at turning policy into narrative and narrative into a tool for harvesting.
One of his tweets not only changes market trends but also affects the judgment of every operation we make.
😤 Why do we always have to be the ones being played?
This is not the first time.
Since Trump's first term, this kind of political scare has become a standard routine:
Release negative news → Guide the market to short.
Build positions at low levels behind the scenes → Wait for panic selling pressure to end.
Release 'misunderstanding' and 'turnaround' news → Market rebounds, completing the harvest.
And we, panicking and reacting slowly, are always the last to know.
🧠 So how do I view this kind of script now?
I no longer follow the trend to enter the market immediately, especially for policy-related news.
These messages are 80% to 90% not 'notifications' but 'manipulations'.
I will:
Observe after the first wave of market emotion.
See if the price aligns with the narrative or if there is another capital intention.
Always remember: the information you can see has already been seen three rounds by capital.
✅ Let's summarize:
Most tax hike news is narrative; don't be swayed by emotions.
A real market reversal won't happen on Twitter, but in the direction of money flow.
When the market collectively panics or is excited, what you should do is not 'believe' but 'doubt'.
✨ When Trump says he wants to raise taxes, the next day is a good time to buy, and the day after that is a good time to sell, because he wants to buy low and sell high.
🌊 In this emotion-driven market, those who survive are not the fastest, but the calmest.
If you always want to grab the first wave, then sooner or later you'll find that you are always someone else's liquidity.
Brothers, have you seen through this? This kind of 'shouting long and short' script will play out many times this year.
