<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></figure><p>As I posted on June 15th, the ghost pattern I witnessed was huge.  It had a magnitude of 711pts.  The highest magnitude I have on record up until May 31st is ~500pts.  This beat it by 200pts AND it occurred during the first hour of trading!  Of course I went short immediately.  As you can see in the chart below, I was deep in profits and expecting more, but then something strange happened. The market started going back up with new long bullish ghost patterns.  The magnitudes weren&apos;t anywhere near the monster selloff pattern that ran in the morning.  But still the market was moving up and with stacking ghost patterns (very powerful)  To be honest I was pretty shocked and by 3:30pm  I knew something was very wrong and decided to check the news.  C-SPAN is my go to for .gov news.  And there it was.  President Biden had called a stop to the war in Gaza shortly the press conference started at 1:28pm.  Of course a ghost pattern started 10min before he appeared on screen.  If you notice on the chart the price stopped dead on the top of the ghost pattern price band from the morning.  That&apos;s when I got stopped out for a loss.  The full image from the post is below for convenience.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-full"><img src="https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/06/may31-NQ-highest-ghost-on-record.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="Yakov Rogoff" loading="lazy" width="1876" height="800" srcset="https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w600/2024/06/may31-NQ-highest-ghost-on-record.jpg 600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w1000/2024/06/may31-NQ-highest-ghost-on-record.jpg 1000w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w1600/2024/06/may31-NQ-highest-ghost-on-record.jpg 1600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/06/may31-NQ-highest-ghost-on-record.jpg 1876w"></figure><p>Now, before I found the Biden press conference, I was certain the Nasdaq would continue to fall for the rest of the day and into the next week.  I was even planning an X post for the weekend calling the top of the Nasdaq.  Instead, and since I got stopped out, I decided to wait and see how this played out.  Sure enough, on Monday, more buy ghost patterns appeared above the giant sell pattern.  That was a very strong indicator prices would hold.  The recovery was now sealed.  The Biden Administration&apos;s call to end the war in Gaza literally saved the Nasdaq.</p><p>Why am I writing about this 3 weeks after the fact?  Because I just connected the dots and realized what had happened on May 31st.</p><p>So, May 31st was a Friday.  The next week on Wednesday June 6, the European parliamentary elections started and lasted until Sunday June 9th.  What was the outcome?  The Macron regime in France suffered a massive political defeat.  It was so bad that Macron himself announced the dissolution of the French parliament and called for snap elections to prevent the far right from gaining further power&#x200B;.  This was the biggest political event since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.</p><p>This was the reason the Nasdaq took an absolute dump on Friday morning during the cash open.  PANIC SELLING!  How could &quot;they&quot; have known you ask?  Easy. There was probably polling that showed Macron was going to lose big the following week and would probably cause huge market turmoil.  Certainly the big Wall Street banks were notified and probably colluded with the Biden Administration telling them that if Macron lost, billions would come out of the Markets.  So, what did they Biden Administration do?  They finally called a stop to the Gaza war.  Something they could have done at any time they wanted!  I of course have zero proof of any of this but if you&apos;ve been reading my articles, you should know this is how it works.  The powerful / elite / donors / oligarchs get the news before everyone else and take action.  Without the ghost patterns going bananas on Friday May 31st we would not have understood the magnitude of what was about to happen and WHY the Biden Administration responded the way they did.  The Biden Administration, which has been driving the collective Wests&apos; decisions on Ukraine was about to be rebuked in a big way in France.  The French government thru the Biden Administration has been forced to fund the war in Ukraine and the people of France have finally been able to speak about it.  The people spoke through elections and rebuked their government&apos;s position on Ukraine and also their government&apos;s position on immigration.  Here&apos;s where it gets interesting.  Wars are inflationary.  If the wars stop, especially the war in Ukraine, the stock markets will crash.  Since there&apos;s no more monetary stimulus from the central banks because inflation is rampant, the only way to keep the house of cards going is to start a war.  Russia was very obliging to us in that regard OR we ratcheted things up so far in Ukraine, Russia was forced to invade.  Either way, that war stopped the US economy and the rest of the West from nosediving into recession due to nose bleed interest rates.  US governments formula for getting us out of a recession:  Start a War.  Starting a war triggers money printing by .gov (fiscal stimulus).  No war, no fiscal stimulus.  And since interest rates are so high and the FED cannot print anymore (or we get $20 milk). The party will officially be over and a deflationary spiral will take hold here in the US and in Europe, followed by a recession.</p><p>Therefore, the wars must continue.  If you paid close attention, did you notice that the war in Gaza started just as the funding for Ukraine was gridlocked for 6 months in Congress?  Pretty amazing timing for the Hamas terrorists to attack Israel (a super power with nuclear weapons) don&apos;t you think?  Or maybe not since we found out through Dave Smith&apos;s appearances on many online debates that the Netanyahu regime was secretly funding the Hamas regime to the tune of billions:</p><p>Zerohedge - Israel Palestine Debate with Dave Smith and Laura Loomer:  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt2WxIIurYM&amp;ref=bottom1.com">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt2WxIIurYM</a></p><p>Dave Smith on Piers Morgan again exposing the Netanyahu regime funding Hamas:  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwFmc6ouWQc&amp;ref=bottom1.com">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwFmc6ouWQc</a></p><p>Did the Netanyahu regime let this happen to kickstart another war?  I don&apos;t know y&apos;all but it certainly looks suspicious.</p><p>So, the Biden administration needed great news to save the markets and they pulled it right out of their hat.  Stop the genocide in Gaza.  This is why I believe the top for the Nasdaq already happened on May 31st.  The rest of the move higher is bag holding for what is to come...</p><p>What is to come you might ask?  Let&apos;s ask Yakov Rogoff.  Once I connected the dots for the &quot;May 31st Nasdaq / Biden stop Gaza war / Macron losing bigly&quot; event, I remembered this nugget in Ken Rogoff&apos;s famous <strong><u>2017</u> </strong>book &quot;The Curse of Cash.&quot;  I&apos;ve highlighted the important statement:</p><p>&quot;Someday, maybe a sudden change in circumstances will necessitate a <strong>dramatic increase in defense spending</strong> that sets off an inflationary spiral.  If and when that day ever comes, it will not be a pretty picture.&quot;  </p><p>WHAT?! &#x1F92F;  You mean kind of like now???  If you read these 2 pages you&apos;ll see what he&apos;s talking about is top of mind at the FED right now.  I&apos;m guessing the weeks and months to come are going to be very interesting..</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/06/curseofcash.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="Yakov Rogoff" loading="lazy" width="1636" height="1472" srcset="https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w600/2024/06/curseofcash.jpg 600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w1000/2024/06/curseofcash.jpg 1000w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w1600/2024/06/curseofcash.jpg 1600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/06/curseofcash.jpg 1636w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p></p><h2 id="what-have-we-learned-hear-at-bottom1com">What have we learned hear at bottom1.com?</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/06/drake-follow-the-money.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="Yakov Rogoff" loading="lazy" width="1200" height="1200" srcset="https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w600/2024/06/drake-follow-the-money.jpg 600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w1000/2024/06/drake-follow-the-money.jpg 1000w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/06/drake-follow-the-money.jpg 1200w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>&#x270C;&#xFE0F; &#x1F447;&#x1F47B;</p><p></p><h2 id="ken-rogoffs-book">Ken Rogoff&apos;s book:</h2><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Curse-Cash-Large-Denomination-Constrain-Monetary/dp/0691178364?ref=bottom1.com">https://www.amazon.com/Curse-Cash-Large-Denomination-Constrain-Monetary/dp/0691178364</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ghost Pattern proves COVID-19 Foreknowledge]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Using my ghost pattern, I can prove through a timeline of events that there was foreknowledge of Covid-19.

After discovering this ghost pattern, I wrote a serious of articles I call the <a href="https://bottom1.com/tag/smokinggun/" rel="noreferrer">#SmokingGun</a> series.  My findings are nothing short of astonishing.  I have to be honest, after making these discoveries in the SmokingGun series, I desperately wanted to find the &quot;smoking gun&quot; for Covid-19, the holy grail of modern day cover-ups.  I didn&apos;t think I would succeed because of so much content related to Covid.  However, when I dug deep into the Federal Reserve&apos;s actions in 2019, their shenanigans made everything line up.  With a combination of the timing of the ghost pattern dates on Boeing, ExxonMobil and 10yr-Treasuries, and the timing of the Federal Reserve&apos;s actions along with the resulting market moves, there&apos;s almost no doubt there was foreknowledge.  The trades are just too perfect.  You always hear the phrase &quot;follow the money&quot;.

At the Fed"><p>During the spring of 2023 the Federal Reserve faced the largest single day bank run in U.S. history.  In just 24hrs $42 billion exited Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) with another $100B set to leave the next day.  Here&apos;s a quick timeline of events: <br><strong>March 8, 2023 - </strong> SVB announced $1.8B loss on their bond portfolio and plans to raise $2.25B by selling stock.  <br><strong>March 9, 2023 -</strong>  $42B of depositor cash is transferred out electronically and SVB&apos;s stock crashes.  <br><strong>March 10, 2023 -</strong>  $100B is queued up to leave and trading on the bank&apos;s stock is halted shutting it all down.<br><strong>March 12, 2023 -</strong>  Signature Bank (SBNY) fails.<br><strong>March 19, 2023 -</strong> Credit Suisse fails.  A 167-year-old bank in Switzerland.<br><strong>May 1, 2023 -</strong> Republic Bank (FRB) fails.</p><p>That <strong><em>other</em></strong> failure that&apos;s hardly remembered is Credit Suisse.  The 167-year-old, 2nd largest bank in Switzerland also failed!  UBS bought them in a killer $3 billion dollar deal to bail out all the depositors&apos; money.  This deal will be kept secret by the Swiss parliamentary investigation for 50 years.  Yes, that&apos;s right no one gets to know the details of the takeover for 50 years.  Transparency baby.  LOL.  Imagine if an audit of a 167 yr old Swiss bank ever happened.  The shit that&apos;d come out! &#x1F632;  </p><h2 id="so-why-did-the-fed-panic">So why did the Fed Panic!</h2><p>On March 12, 2023, the Fed, U.S. Treasury and FDIC all announced they would be covering ALL deposits at Silicon Valley Bank.  Not just the FDIC insured $250k per account.  At first glance, it looked like the Fed was bailing out the rich again from their monumental blunder at <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/11/y-combinator-svb-collapse-congress/?ref=bottom1.com" rel="noreferrer">Y-Combinator</a>, the favorite start-up incubator in Silicon Valley, who had all their investor funds at SVB as uninsured deposits.  However, the real reason was not to bail out the rich, but instead to stop a contagion from reaching <strong>JPMorgan</strong>.  You see while SVB had $150B in uninsured deposits, JPMorgan has $1.058 trillion in uninsured deposits!  If the bank run were to spread to JPMorgan, we&apos;d be looking at an extinction level event of the entire Western Financial System.</p><h2 id="zero-%F0%9F%91%BBghost-patterns-on-2-year-5-year-10-year-and-30-year-treasury-futures"> ZERO &#x1F47B;Ghost Patterns on 2-Year, 5-Year, 10-Year and 30-Year Treasury Futures!</h2><p>Wait what?  Not even 1?  Yup, not even 1.  I&apos;m finding ghost patterns in treasuries all across the board before big events like I find in stocks.  But absolutely nothing during this event.  It took me several hours of contemplating what this could mean.  I came to a very simple realization.  Because of the magnitude and scale of the crisis, the Federal Reserve went into overdrive buying everything they could get their hands on in the Treasuries market in order to force all money into Risk Assets (the stock market).  THAT&apos;S why there&apos;s not a single ghost pattern triggered during the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th largest bank failures in U.S. history.  All the big money when into the stock market.  No one bothered to trade Notes and Bonds.  Plus, the Fed wouldn&apos;t trigger a ghost pattern because they buy all their Treasuries Over The Counter (OTC) through their Primary Dealers which aren&apos;t reported like Stocks and Futures trades.</p><p>So there you have it.  If you&apos;re a member here at bottom1.com, and a major banking crisis hits and you don&apos;t see any ghost patterns forming on my Treasury charts, you know what to do. &#x1F60E;</p><h2 id="heres-my-charts-just-for-reference">Here&apos;s my charts just for reference:</h2><p>Zero &#x1F47B; Ghost Patters.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/04/2yrSVB-1.png" class="kg-image" alt="Panic!

I&apos;m finally looking at my ghost patterns in the CME Group&apos;s U.S. Treasuries Futures and I&apos;m finding all kinds of very interesting stuff.  The celebrity fund managers like to tweet their trades because they know their tweets are worth millions in profits when their followers jump into the same trade.  So, the strategy is tweet it the moment you&apos;ve completed the trade.

Hell of a trade Mr. Ackman.</p><p>An inquisitive reader might wonder what is that big green bar just to the right of the Ackman trade?  That&apos;s <s>insiders</s> cheaters getting in before the Fed announces their tightening cycle is over.    That trade goes from November 9th - 24 2023; 12 days of non-stop buying.

An inquisitive reader might also look at the current price (as of this writing) of the chart and see that we are right back where the Fed pivoted.  Well that&apos;s a bit strange isn&apos;t it?  So, on this chart if the price goes up interest rates go down.  If the price goes down, interest rates go up.  So, either we&apos;re about to see a stock market pull back that&apos;s going to steam roll the BTFD / YOLO crowd, run stops and then recover.  OR this chart has to reverse and the price has to go up again to align with monetary policy which is according to the Fed supposed to be looser.  Me?  I&apos;m waiting for more ghost patterns in stocks, futures or treasuries &#x1F609; &#x1F447;</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tin Foil Hat On.

Five days later (December 5) chatGPT reaches 1 million users.  For comparison, Instagram reached 1 million users 2.5 months after launch.  Just 10 days after reaching 1 million users, everyone deep in the know about AI connect the dots to Nvidia and their newly released Hopper GPU architecture and the buying begins.  I&apos;ll showcase it in the chart below.  Before going further, I&apos;d like to point out that this is one of the rare occasions when innovation surprises everyone and there are no <s>insiders</s> cheaters getting tipped off.  Don&apos;t forget this innovation came on the heals of a series of huge Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.  But first, let me tell you why there were no cheaters.  Simply put, the OpenAI team didn&apos;t know chatGPT was going to work so there was nothing for the cheaters to trade on.  Here&apos;s Stephen Wolfram to explain.  You only need to watch the first 20 seconds of the video below to understand:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-embed-card"><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D4zEVBcC4CU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen title="&quot;It Scans A Trillion Words&quot; - Stephen Wolfram On ChatGPT"></iframe></figure><p>This further proves that my ghost pattern does indeed predict pre-planned events.  Since chatGPT was a total surprise, the ghost pattern didn&apos;t detect extreme buying until later.  As the rumors started to spread and people started investigating the details of OpenAI and what companies can benefit from this new trend, the buying began.  Let&apos;s get into the details..</p><h2 id="%F0%9F%91%BBghost-pattern-on-nvidia-stock">&#x1F47B;Ghost Pattern on Nvidia Stock:</h2><p>Each red and green band on the image below is my ghost pattern identifying extreme selling and buying.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-full"><img src="https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/04/NVDA-interest-rates-and-then-liftoff-1.png" class="kg-image" alt="Smoking Gun Part 6: Nvidia" loading="lazy" width="1813" height="740" srcset="https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w600/2024/04/NVDA-interest-rates-and-then-liftoff-1.png 600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w1000/2024/04/NVDA-interest-rates-and-then-liftoff-1.png 1000w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w1600/2024/04/NVDA-interest-rates-and-then-liftoff-1.png 1600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/04/NVDA-interest-rates-and-then-liftoff-1.png 1813w"></figure><h2 id="a-b-c-d-easy-the-federal-reserve-was-raising-interest-rates">A, B, C, D:  Easy.  The Federal Reserve was raising interest rates.</h2><p>The <s>insiders</s> cheaters ALWAYS know what The FED will do with interest rates before they announce it.  Event A was literally the very first time The FED raised rates since the Covid-19 crash.  In fact, each event was literally an FOMC meeting where they raised interest rates.  The dates are on point except for D where the selling started on July 13 2022 and the meeting wasn&apos;t until July 26 where The FED raised rates again.  The selling on Event D lasted 1 month.  Then something fascinating happened.  September 20 was the next FOMC meeting and on the same day September 20th, Nvidia announced the release of the Hopper chip, an Nvidia specially designed GPU for training AI models. &#x1F632;  Notice zero ghost patterns between Event D and Event E.  Even though there was <em>yet another</em> interest rate hike during the September 20 FOMC meeting, I think the Hopper release nullified any selling that was happening with buying in anticipation of big revenues from Hopper.  Here&apos;s an excerpt of what Hopper actually is:</p><p>&quot;The NVIDIA Hopper architecture&#xA0;<strong>advances Tensor Core technology with the Transformer Engine, designed to accelerate the training of AI models</strong>.&quot; Below is the source article if you&apos;re interested:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-bookmark-card"><a class="kg-bookmark-container" href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/technologies/hopper-architecture/?ref=bottom1.com"><div class="kg-bookmark-content"><div class="kg-bookmark-title">NVIDIA Hopper GPU Architecture</div><div class="kg-bookmark-description">World&#x2019;s most advanced GPU.</div><div class="kg-bookmark-metadata"><img class="kg-bookmark-icon" src="https://www.nvidia.com/favicon.ico" alt="Smoking Gun Part 6: Nvidia"><span class="kg-bookmark-author">NVIDIA</span></div></div><div class="kg-bookmark-thumbnail"><img src="https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/data-center/hopper-architecture/hpc-h200-og-1200x630.jpg" alt="Smoking Gun Part 6: Nvidia"></div></a></figure><p>Tensor Core and Transformer Engine are the absolute key to the success of chatGPT.</p><h2 id="e-the-rumors-spread-about-chatgpt">E:  The rumors spread about chatGPT</h2><p>So, Nvidia releases Hopper then chatGPT launches and smashes expectations.  Shortly after, the &#x1F47B; ghost pattern identifies 37 days of non-stop buying from December 15th 2022 - February 7, 2023.  And the rally of the century begins! &#x1F4B0;</p><h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2><p>The ghost pattern shows you when the big money buys or sells stocks.  It also shows you when there&apos;s true foreknowledge of events and when there&apos;s not.  This is the main reason why I wrote this Nvidia article.  To show an example when there was no foreknowledge and therefore no smoking gun of buying ahead of time.  Unlike the previous posts, this is a zoomed in chart.  I did this because I don&apos;t want to give away too much out of respect for my members who support me.  But there&apos;s just one more Nvidia article to write in my <a href="https://bottom1.com/tag/smokinggun/" rel="noreferrer">SmokingGun</a> series and it&apos;s about a very very wealthy hedge fund manager whose trades I discovered &#x1F609;.

The reason? The usual... <s>insiders</s> cheaters knew the quarterly results in advance (the funny thing is the ghost pattern ended on the day CNBC published their article about the quarterly results):</p><figure class="kg-card kg-bookmark-card"><a class="kg-bookmark-container" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/26/exxon-mobil-earnings-q1-2019.html?ref=bottom1.com"><div class="kg-bookmark-content"><div class="kg-bookmark-title">Exxon Mobil&#x2019;s quarterly profits tumble on poor refining and chemicals results</div><div class="kg-bookmark-description">Exxon Mobil reported that first-quarter profits fell nearly 50% from a year ago, hit by poor results in its refining and chemicals segments.</div><div class="kg-bookmark-metadata"><img class="kg-bookmark-icon" src="https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/favicon.ico" alt="Smoking Gun Part 5: Exxon"><span class="kg-bookmark-author">CNBC</span><span class="kg-bookmark-publisher">Tom DiChristopher</span></div></div><div class="kg-bookmark-thumbnail"><img src="https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/104313650-IMG_9780.JPG?v=1488400639&amp;w=1920&amp;h=1080" alt="Smoking Gun Part 5: Exxon"></div></a></figure><p>But look at the magnitude of the selling during Event A.  For ExxonMobil, it&apos;s pretty freaking huge for just having bad quarterly results.  Just saying....  </p><p><strong>Then Event B</strong>, &#x1F47B; Ghost pattern identifies 3 days of selling January 23 - January 27 2020.  A measly 3 days of selling right before the market crashes due to Covid-19.  Huh?  This event barely even registered on the magnitude area of the chart?!   So, what I&apos;m seeing is almost no one was panic selling the largest oil company in America when the <s>insiders</s> cheaters knew damn well lock downs were coming but instead <a href="https://bottom1.com/smoking-gun-part-1-boeing/" rel="noreferrer">panic sold Boeing (twice)</a>?  Weird!  But could the selling all the way back to the end of April 2019 (5 months before &#x1F4A9; started happening) have anything to do with Covid-19 &#x1F937;&#x200D;&#x2642;&#xFE0F;.  All I know is there&apos;s some seriously crazy stuff happening before Covid-19 hit our shores.  Here&apos;s a quick summary:  a secret banking crisis occurs in September 2019 and the Federal Reserve starts bailing out the giant Wall St. banks to the tune of Trillions.  I&apos;ll get to this in a later post.  Then, our intelligence community starts to warn the Whitehouse as early as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnLMn-uT-Z0&amp;ref=bottom1.com" rel="noreferrer">November 2019</a> about a flu like pandemic sweeping China.  All politicians start dumping their stocks in January 2020 (how nice).  Some even shorted the S&amp;P500 futures market (again a later post which will hurt...a lot)  etc. etc. etc.  Make up your own minds about Event A and why it was such a panic selling event...  Was it simply just a super bad quarterly report?  All I can say is when a ghost pattern of that magnitude fires, better get ur mind right. &#x270C;&#xFE0F;</p><h2 id="c-an-absolute-%F0%9F%92%8Egem-of-a-technical-trading-event">C:  An absolute &#x1F48E;gem of a technical trading event.</h2><p>I didn&apos;t bother looking for what news could have precipitated this event because the technical trading aspect of it is so amazing.  Proving how powerful my &#x1F47B; ghost pattern is when you combine it with technical trading.  See the chart below:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/04/XOM-On-balanc-volume-divergence-2.png" class="kg-image" alt="Smoking Gun Part 5: Exxon" loading="lazy" width="906" height="612" srcset="https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w600/2024/04/XOM-On-balanc-volume-divergence-2.png 600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/04/XOM-On-balanc-volume-divergence-2.png 906w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>I pulled this chart from <a href="https://stockcharts.com/sc3/ui/?s=XOM&amp;ref=bottom1.com" rel="noreferrer">Stockcharts.com</a>.  It&apos;s a daily chart that&apos;s compressed to showcase this event&apos;s size.  The indicator under the price chart is called the On Balance Volume (OBV).  It&apos;s actually a very cool indicator that most traders don&apos;t really use anymore, but when used correctly it can be powerful.  The lines I&apos;ve drawn, clearly show the OBV keeps pushing lower, like waaaayy lower while the stock price <u><em>doesn&apos;t</em></u> push lower.  This is a very bullish indicator.  In terms of how OBV works, this is called &quot;divergence&quot; and this is what you look for in this indicator.  But patience with OBV is very important because if you look closely, the OBV divergence event was going on for 4 months (Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov 2020).  Then my &#x1F47B; ghost pattern fires right at the end from Oct 9 - Nov 6 2020 which is  21 trading days of non-stop panic buying.  Literally marking the bottom!  If you look closely you can see that right when the ghost pattern stops, XOM stock gaps up!   Look what happens next.  An absolute buying frenzy.  Winning Lottery Ticket level profits occur at these moments my friends &#x1F4B0;.  That right there is how you do it!  <strong><u>Pro tip</u></strong>:  if you think you can start using the OBV indicator exclusively and expect to make a lot of money, I can promise you this: <em>you will lose all your money</em>.  Indicators like this only work when confluence occurs across many indicators.  But trust me, everyone has thought of this already so it&apos;s not very reliable and fails more often than it works.  However, if you have an amazing indicator, which no one else has (&#x1F47B;) that can predict big market moving events with ferocious accuracy and you see confluence with OBV... well you get the picture.</p><h2 id="d-russia-begins-to-move-troops-to-the-ukrainian-border">D: Russia begins to move troops to the Ukrainian border.</h2><p>Ghost pattern detects 20 days of non-stop panic buying Feb 10 - March 9, 2021.  I already covered this in my post about <a href="https://bottom1.com/smoking-gun-part-3-ratheon/" rel="noreferrer">Raytheon here</a>.  However, I should note that if a ghost pattern fires in a related stock at the same time....something is definitely up in the world!  Since I discovered my ghost pattern on November 14th 2023, finding overlapping ghost patterns on related stocks is a brand new technical trading indicator that only happens here at bottom1.com. &#x1F60E;</p><h2 id="e-the-actual-invasion-of-ukraine">E: The Actual Invasion of Ukraine</h2><p>Ghost pattern detects 40 days of FOMO buying between March 25 and May 19, 2022.  FOMO is short for Fear Of Missing Out.  Let me explain what&apos;s going on here.  The <s>insiders</s> cheaters who got in during Event D took profit and then started buying more as the price bounced off Event D for the next 5 months.  This profit taking and re-buying their position caused violent up and down moves in the stock.  If you look closely, you&apos;ll see that the &quot;FOMO buyers&quot; didn&apos;t really see good profits for 5 months.  October is when the stock took off again..  </p><h2 id="f-just-before-hamas-attacks-israel-exxon-is-dumped">F:  Just before Hamas attacks Israel, Exxon is dumped?</h2><p>Yea I don&apos;t get this one but it is what it is.  Let&apos;s try and make some sense of it.  September 6 - September 21, 2023 (12 days of selling) just 2 weeks before Hamas attacks Israel on Oct 7 2023.  If you look closely at the dates, Event F does cause the price to drop then Oct 7th causes it to jump just a little, then finally another, even bigger ghost pattern triggers Oct 27 - Nov 20 2023 (17 days of heavier selling).  This causes the price to fall further.  So Exxon stock is a net loser during the Hamas attack.  I guess the <s>insiders</s> cheaters realized this would be just a skirmish and wouldn&apos;t effect world oil markets.  But then the Israelis take it too far and start killing 10&apos;s of thousands of civilians in Gaza which erupts another battle in Yemen, greatly affecting shipping through the Red Sea and apparently backed by Iran...</p><h2 id="g-panic-buying-just-before-the-israelis-launch-a-missile-strike-against-iranian-embassy-in-syria">G: Panic buying just before the Israelis launch a missile strike against Iranian embassy in Syria</h2><p>During war, things happen quickly and the <s>insiders</s> cheaters move their money just as quickly regardless of what happened before because they don&apos;t care what just happened, they trade what&apos;s about to happen.  Ghost pattern buying event starts and occurs in 2 waves lasting between December 18 2023 - February 20 2024.  You can see the 2 green bars at event G on the chart.  This event overlaps the <a href="https://bottom1.com/smoking-gun-part-4-raytheon-again/" rel="noreferrer">Raytheon panic buying for the same event</a>.

Why build one when you can build 2 at twice the price!&quot;</p><h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion:</h2><p>Now, lets think about this for a second.  Events A and B were huge events.  Event A was a money printing, buy everything bail out by the Federal Reserve yet it barely registers on the chart.  Event B was Russia who boasts the worlds largest nuclear arsenals and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMbl_ofF3AM&amp;ref=bottom1.com" rel="noreferrer">the world&apos;s most technologically advanced rocket engineers</a> invading another country.  To any logically thinking person, Event B would mean a serious expenditure of missiles.  Yet, event C dwarfs them both.  We can speculate that this could mean the <s>insiders</s> cheaters know that a massive escalation in the Gaza-Israel-Yemen-Iran war is imminent.  But again, we can only speculate.  Obviously an escalation would be a windfall for the MIC (military industrial complex) of which Raytheon is a massive player.  However, there are consequences to such an escalation.  The price of oil will most certainly spike forcing gas prices in the USA to go up, causing Biden&apos;s reelection to be nearly impossible.  Anyways, now that you know what the market knows, trade accordingly and pay close attention to the news. &#x270C;&#xFE0F;</p><h2 id></h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smoking Gun Part 3: Raytheon]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>One month before the world learns of the Russians moving vast amounts of troops and equipment to the Ukrainian border, insiders are buying Billions of dollars of Raytheon stock and CALL options.

Someone knew an invasion was coming and thousands of missiles would be used and then replenished.  Missiles which coincidentally, Raytheon makes. &#x1F60E;</p><p>Ok, so when I first pulled up the Raytheon chart I was absolutely certain I would find a ghost pattern showing tons of buying in Raytheon stock just before the Russians stormed Ukraine.  But there was nothing there.  I was so disappointed.  I thought for sure the <s>insiders</s> cheaters would be exposed once again.  Then after sitting in front of my laptop for 15 minutes stunned and disappointed, a memory occurred to me.  I remember watching Pentagon press briefings in early to mid February and how Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Advisor, would speak in a tone that was pure certainty talking about how the Russians are amassing a hundred thousand troops and this is a signal they&apos;re about to invade.  I&apos;m not joking look it up.  The man was getting slightly giddy saying &quot;the invasion is imminent&quot;.  I though hmmm... amassing troops was an important signal for our government to take note.  </p><h2 id="so-i-googled-it">So I Googled it:</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/04/russia-amass-troops-on-ukr.png" class="kg-image" alt="Smoking Gun Part 3: Raytheon" loading="lazy" width="981" height="598" srcset="https://bottom1.com/content/images/size/w600/2024/04/russia-amass-troops-on-ukr.png 600w, https://bottom1.com/content/images/2024/04/russia-amass-troops-on-ukr.png 981w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="%F0%9F%91%BBghost-pattern-dec-14-2020jan-25-2021">&#x1F47B;Ghost Pattern Dec 14, 2020 - Jan 25, 2021 </h2><p>March 2021 the the world learns of Russia moving troops to the Ukrainian border.  Boom.  There it is.  I found it.  So, the buying finished at the end of January 2021, February goes by and in March, the world learns that the Russians began mobilizing massive amounts of troops to the Ukrainian border.  This means that if &quot;the world&quot; took notice in March of 2021, then the cheaters obviously knew earlier and started panic buying Raytheon stock and CALL options.  Which is why my ghost pattern triggered.  The deep connections these people have is astonishing.  You always hear the term &quot;follow the money&quot;, but I say &quot;follow the money on the stock market&quot;!</p><h2 id="%F0%9F%91%BBghost-pattern-on-raytheon-stock">&#x1F47B;Ghost Pattern on Raytheon Stock:</h2><p>Each red and green band on the image below is my ghost pattern identifying extreme selling and buying.

Then according to Google, the Russians begin amassing troops as early as March 2021.  It&apos;s interesting to speculate here who it could have been buying billions in Raytheon stock.  Was it Putin&apos;s oligarchs who did the buying?  Was it our government&apos;s elite cheaters?  Or was it Jake Sullivan himself &#x1F923;  Or was it all of &apos;em?  In any case whomever it was knew they better get in immediately before the leak spreads because this is some seriously volatile news.  Notice the price never went lower after that panic buying frenzy.</p><h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion:</h2><p>Raytheon is a huge player in the United State&apos;s Military Industrial Complex.  So naturally it&apos;s a great place to start buying when you know a war is imminent.

The 2 Boeing plane crashes before the Covid-19 market dump shows that airplane crashes do indeed affect the stock price.  But the stock price rebounds shortly after because everyone knows crashes do happen, they&apos;re just a rare occurrence.  Then on Jan 5th, 2024 Alaska Airlines had the now famous door incident.  Even though the plane didn&apos;t crash it still sent the stock lower.  Now, look closely to the price action just after the sudden drop in price after the Alaska Airlines door incident on the chart above.  As before the price should have recovered.  After all, it was just freak accident with no deaths and no plane crash.  But it didn&apos;t for one very simple reason.

Then, according to the Fortune article, the Federal Aviation Administration issues an <strong>update</strong> in March that it found more issues.  The selling ended just before that March update occurred.  And the stock kept falling thereafter.  The poor main stream investors thought the stock price would certainly recover just like the recovery after every airplane crash.  Since this was just a door malfunction with no injuries <strong>AND</strong> the market as a whole had undergone a rally this year, the likelihood the stock price would recover was very high.   But because the wealthy cheaters dumped a whole lot of stock, the price never recovered.

But then I remembered one morning, a couple years ago, <em>super early</em> watching the Nasdaq futures market going up like a heavily weighted freight train with very few pull backs.  And then spiking even higher at the 9:30am stock market open (cash open).  The rally came out of nowhere, there was zero news and I was very confused as to what could have sparked hundreds of millions of dollars being literally poured into the Nasdaq.  Then later that morning the news broke.  Someone leaked BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) data.  I can&apos;t recall what exactly it was... but it really doesn&apos;t matter.  It was &quot;leaked&quot; and those who received it didn&apos;t just make a profit that day.  They won the fucking lottery.  Today we get a glimpse as to <strong><em>who exactly</em></strong> got it first:</p><p><strong><u>Excerpt:</u></strong> &quot;And in&#xA0;<strong>addition to BlackRock and JPMorgan,&#xA0;</strong>other banks, hedge funds and research firms &#x2014;<strong>&#xA0;Brevan Howard, Millennium Capital Partners LLP, Citadel, Moore Capital Management, High Frequency Economics, Nomura Securities International and BNP&#xA0;</strong>Paribas &#x2014; appeared in the exchanges and declined to comment.&quot;</p><p><strong><u>Another wonderful excerpt</u></strong>: &quot;In mid-February, one user asked if they could be added to the &#x201C;super user email list,&#x201D; to which the BLS economist replied minutes later, &#x201C;Yes I can add you to the list.&#x201D; The move was an attempt by the lowly paid government worker to curry favor with his much better paid peers on the sell- and buyside so that he could, one day, trade the preferential data access for a cushier job in some hedge fund or Wall Street firm.&quot;</p><p>Again, do you think the ultra rich are rich because they&apos;re so smart and savvy?
