The headlines won’t tell you what really happened.
But smart money has already made their move.
BTC’s drop is no accident, it’s a setup.
Let me walk you through the mechanics.👇🧵
The timing wasn’t random.
Trump announced new tariffs on 66+ countries.
Every tariff threat added pressure.
But instead of a sell-the-news dump, we got slow, controlled bleeding.
That’s institutional selling into strength.
Retail traders kept buying dips, thinking the risk was fading.
But smart money was already out.
This is how exits are done — not with crashes, but with exhaustion.
On top of that, geopolitical tension spiked.
US moved nuclear subs closer to Russia.
Everyone felt the fear, but nobody panicked.
This wasn’t WW3, it was engineered FUD to drain sentiment.
Then came the labor data surprise.
NFP revisions were 10x higher than expected.
Translation:
The Fed isn’t cutting rates any time soon.
Credit remains tight, demand keeps falling.
Liquidity is pulling back.
