The concern about insider trading activities and market manipulation has become hard to ignore. When institutional players operate with information advantages, retail traders end up bearing the cost. It's not just one asset—across multiple trading pairs and markets, we're seeing coordinated movements that drain liquidity faster than natural market cycles would suggest. The question isn't whether this is happening, but whether everyday traders can actually compete on a level playing field anymore.

It's been obvious for a long time, we simply can't beat the strategies that institutions are using.

I've already said it, retail investors are just working for the big players.
