Today’s move doesn’t add up as a natural sell-off for me. BTC dropped nearly 15% intraday from about 122.5k to near 105k, not unheard of for BTC but something smells fishy. Right after Trump’s tariff comment, the order-flow makes it look orchestrated.

Just before the dump, open interest in shorts jumped sharply on Binance and Bybit. Billions in longs were liquidated in a straight line. After the stops were cleared, price snapped back up. Classic stop-run pattern.

The tariff shock gave the perfect excuse. But this looks like a coordinated sweep with big players stacking shorts, triggering a cascade, harvesting liquidity, then letting price rebound. Thin order books and sudden multi-million sell walls that vanished right after execution make it even more suspect.

Am I wrong? I kind of hope so honestly.
