Hey Calvo. Great to see a relevant bearish post. If you are seeing problems then I will say the tide is turning for the bull camp

Negative / Reverse meaning of her being positive so we should all Inverse Yellen the markets?

"IF I was running a hedge fund to short the market, wouldnt I want to inflate it as much as possible till the bulls are 100% invested and crowing about it? After the rug pull, they'll need that capitulation phase some time down the road as follow up, to really crash the market. To get that, you needs the bulls to be so blinkered and all in, they'll keep holding to the bitter end.- until they cant anymore."

I believe this is the process whereby they lull as many people to the happy happy joy joy phase and then surprise. But as has been said by yourself and others here, it could be a death by 1000 cuts for the bears waiting for that time.. I am seeing a tipping over of the M7 but again, is this part of the ploy to also lull the bears in early?

"all this market push up is a form of psychological manipulation."

I mentioned a while back that I am certain the major players hire brain / behaviour specialists (psychologists with backgrounds in group analysis) with the intent of understanding reactions to moves. They have it down pat for both camps. In the smaller end of the pool, those with tonnes of capital also do the same with the specs and know how to influence moves made within that segment and due to the limited depth and control they don't need to manipulate as much to have their desired outcomes.
