(2,680 posts)saw a video on YouTube by Voidzilla I think it was that someone began placing $80 million worth of shorts against Bitcoin and Ethereum in the 12 hours before Trumps tariff tweet about 100% against China, all the way up to the last short order being 1 minute before the tweet. 30 minutes later all the shorts were closed and the person walked with $190 million.

(2,031 posts)Since so much of the market trading is automated now, I would think any downturn would be seen by the computers as a buying opportunity. Remember that computers don't have emotions like fear.
Say something outlandish. Watch people sell. Buy shares. Watch the computers buy. Sell for profit. Rinse and repeat.
