I'm not sure that skfx has explicitly stated that these moves are engineered by insiders, although he might yet, but do these moves need to be manipulated for the opportunities to exist? I suggest that they aren't. If a market looks bullish, then appears to break-out above then there is a high probability that market participants will bundle in and all have their stops just below the breakout point, below the last low, or given space at some point below the last low. When these stops start getting triggered then the market goes into freefall, ceteris paribus.
