“It seems they just create fear events to maximize the swings? ”

Absolutely.

They thrive off trading retail fear and greed, just reflect on all the recent commentary, parroted by many HC posters too btw, on the apparent “slowdown” of China ev sales, ending subsidies etc that was supposedly some massive fundamental headwind for Li demand… all basically a load of overhyped BS, it just needed the monthly sales figures to come through…. Those of us looking from a bit “further out” recognised the fear-porn for what it was, and could see that there was and is no real concern…. Just the puppet masters pulling strings and dumb-ass media seeking click bait headlines…. As usual.

The US “running out of money”…? Just print more… kick the can down the road and make it someone else’s problem …. Business as usual for them!
