About this listen
The provided source discusses various forms of market manipulation within the cryptocurrency space, specifically targeting retail investors. It highlights how a select group, referred to as "smart money" – comprising institutional players and elite traders – exploits the predictable patterns and emotional responses of individual traders. The video explains specific manipulation tactics such as "scam wicks" or "stop hunts," where prices are artificially driven to liquidate traders' positions, and the problematic practices of market makers on listing days, who can create an illusion of demand and volatility. Furthermore, the source exposes the prevalence of "wash trading," an artificial inflation of trading volume to mislead investors, offering insights into how to identify and protect oneself from these deceptive schemes.
