I get the irritation. Watching numbers bleed red has a way of making anyone look for a villain. Still, it’s worth taking a breath before pinning the whole mess on one person. Markets don’t move on vibes alone. Crypto, especially, reacts to a messy cocktail of forces: Fed signals, inflation prints, liquidity cycles, regulatory whispers, geopolitical flare-ups, and yes, occasionally loud public figures saying loud things. Trump’s election timing lining up with volatility feels suggestive, sure, but timing isn’t proof. Markets love coincidence. They thrive on it. Now, about manipulation. It exists. No one serious denies that. But accusing someone of deliberately steering prices isn’t a casual claim. You’d need evidence: coordinated trades, misleading statements made with intent, a paper trail that actually holds up. Without that, it slips into guesswork, and guesswork is a terrible investment strategy. What is genuinely worth watching is policy. Regulation shapes capital flows. A Trump administration could bring clarity, or confusion, or some odd mix of both. Bulls see opportunity. Skeptics see risk. Both camps have reasons. If there’s a steadier way through this, it’s focusing on what you can actually control. Fundamentals. Cycles. Position sizing. Diversification. Boring stuff, I know. But blaming personalities rarely improves returns. Understanding why assets move, and accepting that disappointment comes with the territory, tends to lead to better decisions than assuming someone somewhere is pulling strings just to ruin your portfolio.
