The narrative follows the price? Nonsense. I’m old enough to remember when markets were driven by fundamentals and narratives followed price. Today, the script is reversed. Event → Narrative → Mass brainwashing → Algorithmic amplification → Trading bots engage → Price follows → Insiders cash out. The narrative is the weapon. Price is the target. Profit is the motive. Markets aren’t just manipulated at the point of execution. The manipulation starts much earlier — with the engineering of perception itself.
