Riiiiight. Theres no manipulation going on.
Great analysis.
I presume you don't trade or know the kind of numbers it would take to manipulate the market to the extent you are suggesting. Nor do you know just how many people would be able to take money off those doing the manipulating.
The pattern for Friday that you say shows 'obvious signs of manipulation' is actually showing classic signs of capitulation. This one of the CLASSIC ways that trends end. This type of pattern is completely typical and in no way out of the ordinary. Now - the trend may not reverse necessarily, but this type of day is a sign that probability favours that it has ended. We may now move into a consolidation phase, a retracement or a shallower downtrend.
Individual stocks can be manipulated to some extent but to suggest that the manipulators, after 5 straight down days, decided to manipulate the market today whilst also managing to make it show classic signs of capitulation all from the first hour - well - that's pretty far fetched. Do you think a man with a set of crayons draws these candles on the charts and someone hoodwinked him into doing it ?
Why wait the 5 days ? Did they also want to make it look like the downtrend ran it's course before manipulating the last day to make it look like the downtrend was changing ? Why bother exactly ? what's the reason ? Nothing goes down in a straight line anyway.
Just out of interest - how often do you look at charts like this ?
If you can't provide any facts or logic to back up your case, at least come up with a motive...
