🚨 BITCOIN IS BEING MANIPULATED, AND I HAVE SOLID PROOF!!!
Everyone’s talking about how Bitcoin went up $3,000 and then down $4,000 in minutes.
Everyone’s posting about it…
but nobody seems to understand what actually happened.
You need to look at the flows, not the chart.
Within minutes you had Wintermute, Binance, Coinbase, and ETF-linked wallets all getting active at the same time.
Large blocks moving exchange to exchange, HUGE market buys hitting thin books, then just as fast…
THEY DUMPED IT ALL.
Here’s what actually happened:
– Liquidity was low – Leverage was stacked on one side – Funding was already stretched
So price gets shoved up aggressively to trigger FOMO and, more importantly, to pull in fresh longs and push existing shorts out of the way.
Once enough leverage was trapped?
They started dumping all their coins.
You can literally see it in the data:
– Coordinated inflows to major venues – Market buys clustered in a tight window – Immediate reversal once stops were cleared – Heavy selling right after liquidation levels were tagged
That’s not organic demand, that’s liquidity hunt.
This is how large players trade size without chasing price…
They move the market to where the orders are, force liquidations, then unload into the chaos they just created.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they went long/short with hidden wallets.
If you’re new, understand this now:
Bitcoin NEVER move like this because of news.
It moves because leverage piles up, and someone with size decides it’s time to rekt everyone.
Watch funding. Watch open interest. Watch who’s moving coins, not who’s tweeting charts. $BTC
I think it’s time to throw this cheatsheet in the garbage once and for all, because none of that shit happened in this order. As a matter of fact, nothing happened at all.
We’ve only been watching $BTC make new ATHs day after day, while #altcoins kept getting screwed more and more every single day.
These Market Makers are ruthless. They managed to disgust millions of people with #crypto
It’s almost the end of December and there are still no signs of #altseason. Now everyone is looking at Q1 2026. I don’t have any timeline anymore. All I know is this, I’M NOT SELLING.
• Seeing red and panicking • Thinking about selling • Hoping for a bounce before the year ends • Feeling stressed • Learning from mistakes • Holding tight anyway • Ready to act when the price moves
Remember, dips don’t last forever, but the lessons you learn now will pay off later. $BNB $ETH $BTC

This pump hit me hard. It’s been my worst trading week of the year so far, with 3 losses in a row something that hasn’t happened in a long time.
That said, since October 15 I’ve still won 27 out of 39 trades, which is a 69.23% win rate.
I need to take a step back and re-evaluate what has been working and how to avoid this situation going forward. Because of that, I’m not jumping straight into a new trade.
Please understand that I’m also taking real losses here. Losses are simply part of trading, which is exactly why you should never risk more than 3–5% of your total trading capital on a single trade. If you lose all your money, you’re out of the game and restarting is the hardest part. Protecting your capital is rule number one. $BTC
🎁✨✨🚨 This cycle was indeed a reset. It’s very obvious that general public sentiment is always wrong.
Everyone called crypto a scam back in 2017; the result was that every token delivered crazy returns.
In 2021, there was some improvement, but the overall sentiment was still that crypto was a bubble and a complete scam. As a result, the majority of tokens delivered amazing returns, and we saw multiples of 100x and even 1000x.
Now coming to this cycle, 2025: overall sentiment has tremendously shifted, and everyone suddenly became ultra bearish on Bitcoin and giga bullish on altcoins. The result: Bitcoin delivered insane gains, while altcoins had their worst performance since inception, if we exclude AI coins.
Now to the most important takeaway: I believe that after this cycle, the reset will be completed, and we’ll be back to the general sentiment that crypto is a big scam and a Ponzi which is exactly what we need to have another brilliant run later in 2029.
Many wouldn’t want to hear this simply because they can’t afford to wait another four years. That’s their only problem and the main reason they refuse to change their bias.
