Again, an unusual trade?

Again, did someone know?

An unusual pattern of massive trades in the oil market raises suspicion of insider information...? Recently, we have been tracking unusual movements in the energy market, which raise worrying questions about the fairness of trading...

On April 7, we identified a massive sale of oil contracts worth approximately $950 million within a few minutes.

This sale occurred just before President Trump announced a ceasefire, which led to an immediate drop of about 15% in oil prices, and meant that whoever sold the contracts profited immensely in a very short time...

This is not the only case that raises suspicion.

- On March 23, we saw an almost identical sale of $500 million, which occurred exactly 15 minutes before another dramatic announcement by Trump regarding Iran...

What is very suspicious is the form, the time, and the timing.

When large entities want to sell goods of this magnitude, they usually spread the operation over time so as not to depress the price during the sale.

In these cases, we saw a 'dumping' of enormous sums all at once immediately after the market close.

This is something that happens very rarely in this manner,

Despite the strong suspicions arising from the precise timing, the bodies responsible for supervising and examining trading chose not to respond or provide explanations...

And this only strengthens the feeling that something here is not right.

One cannot ignore the fact that the market is behaving as if someone is receiving information about the next stage of the war before the general public...

And this is a serious warning sign that shows this is not just regular trading - but something deeper.

Does someone know in advance - and act quickly?
