Have you seen the news on the SEC and fighting the bad boogey man Crypto? BNB this time. IMO this times in well with the CBDC coming into effect on 30th June
I have noticed that major changes to the markets are some type of sideline unknown (or relatively insignificant item like Covid was in 2020 - until it wasn't). It is these events that have the major impact. Initially covid wasn't a major deal, then the media talked it up along with the global govt and agencies then wham, markets collapsed.
IMO this is what the intent will be again. They need to have a major trigger event. Funnily enough, these 'events' seem to coincide with a major push just prior. As if someone already knew about the news events... also.. funnily enough, some of the US pollies seem to be able to time these events with share price movements.. Totally amazing right
Maybe.. there won't be a trigger event, but a slow push down and then light the fuse of a trigger. I won't dismiss the reporting cycle, but this is seen as a known in my books therefore not the surprise that the markets would need for a justification of a sell down. Something like an invasion or a massive upheaval of a foreign govt which could be associated to the markets and have a 'supposed' impact on its movements. These seem to always be known to those who have their insiders as you say.
In between is Inflation and Interest Rate decision. These could also be used as a trigger but once again, known to the many.
