You’re Not Trading a Market. You’re Fuel for It. (Part 1/5)
The market is rigged.
Let me show you how the #crypto market really works.
This isn’t conspiracy bullshit.
This isn’t cope for bad entries or missed profits.
This is the truth.
The game is rigged.
And you're the product.
Every big player already knows this.
They don't fight it, they use it.
You? You’re still figuring out how this works.
That’s why they keep draining you.
But if you can learn to see through it
you can finally stop being the victim and start trading like a killer.
Let’s start with the first lesson.
1. MicroStrategy Doesn’t Move the Market. They Move You.
Everyone loves a good Michael Saylor tweet.
He says “We bought more BTC.”
Twitter rejoices.
You retweet.
You feel bullish.
You start buying.
But here’s the truth:
The buys are already done.
OTC. Silent. Zero impact on the chart.
What you’re reacting to?
Just the announcement.
Just the narrative.
Just the sentiment manipulation.
Let me be brutally clear:
Saylor’s role now isn’t to move price.
It’s to influence perception.
The announcement is part of a game
to keep you engaged, confident, and complicit in their strategy.
They need your belief so they can sell higher.
They need your liquidity so they can exit clean.
Every tweet is psychological warfare.
Not price action.
Mind control.
Most retail traders still think news = signal.
They chase headlines.
They buy after pumps.
They enter based on emotion, not structure.
That’s exactly what they want.
You become liquidity, not competition.
So what should you do?
Don’t buy announcements.
Don’t trust Twitter euphoria.
Understand that real moves happen before the news.
Trade what the chart shows, not what influencers post.
The real traders are watching market structure, not tweets.
They’re entering before the press release.
They’re exiting when retail buys the top.
This is the difference between being in the 1% and being exit liquidity.
Tomorrow I’ll show you how perpetual markets are weaponized against you.
It’s brutal.
It’s effective.
And if you don’t understand it
you’re being harvested.
And that’s not a metaphor.
It’s real.
But here’s the real kicker:
If you think this is valuable…
The exact signals.
The bait setups.
The liquidation zones I look for.
The weekly timing windows.
I’ve dropped them all inside the 9-5 Crypto Exit Manual and premium Discord.
If you’re serious about exiting this cycle with life-changing gains this is your playbook.
Because once Q4 rotation kicks in, this window will close fast.
Premium prices are increasing soon.
If you wait, you’ll pay more or get locked out entirely.
