It's not about who's moving the market or us against them or good and bad or right and wrong.....this is trading....it's about being in the right place at the right time.
I know you were exaggerating a bit when you say "FULL CONTROL" - but still....that's a bit over the top. They can't be in full control unless they own everything. Awareness and foresight is the key here, not being in or out when they make a move....because unless they own most of the market...and they don't, they can't do much to it. Yes, large groups can certainly move the needle a bit, but any hysteria is lodged within the person who expresses it.
Everyday I hear or read about this group or that conspiracy that's going to do this or that, or is doing it. To me, it's just another day at the office. The only control they have is over their own funds....anyone else making moves is doing that on their own accord, and if that's reactionary....well that's on them for not understanding the fluctuations of the market place.
Just another day at the office.
