00:00, 02:00, 04:00... Every two hours, the world is manipulated once.

Those red arrows that always appear on time.

The most anomalous day since the Iran war occurred:

- Oil prices rose on Tuesday, US stock markets were up across the board, gold prices closed flat, US Treasuries rose, and the US dollar fell—breaking the correlation between crude oil, stocks, and the US dollar.

During this recent wave of “war trading,” the pattern had always been either “crude oil and the US dollar up, everything else down,” or “crude oil and the US dollar down, everything else up,” but yesterday’s closing was the first exception—markets forcibly ignored the bad news brought by oil prices.

Throughout the trading day, traders were discussing this “mysterious volatility.”

· On one hand, the traffic through the Strait of Hormuz plummeted to 700,000 barrels/day (down by 19.3 million barrels/day), approaching the cutoff of a “historic-level energy crisis,” yet oil prices did not break well above $100—the “missing 19.3 million barrels” and the vanished panic appeared together.

· On the other hand, there were sharp intraday oil price swings without clear news drivers. These “random” price jumps triggered a guess in the market—is some “intervention force” stepping in?

Because more and more people have started realizing the war may last longer, while almost all assets are now trading around one core variable: “crude oil”—the market has begun to suspect someone is actively controlling this switch—Trump might have set up an “oil price control team” (not a single person but possibly a whole system), specifically suppressing oil prices at specific times.

Every time oil prices are about to rise, they’re suddenly suppressed. It always happens on the hour or just after, at 00:00 (midnight), around 02:00, around 04:00, around 06:00, and around 08:00 (approximately every two hours), the oil price suddenly moves sharply in the opposite direction, without any accompanying news—such patterns are highly suspicious. Nearly all these interventions occur precisely on the hour New York time (or within five minutes after).

In other words, each round of oil price rebound is knocked back down around the hour (market trading is usually random and dispersed). It’s not just once—it’s happened repeatedly. If this were mere market behavior, it wouldn’t be so “punctual, repetitive, and unidirectional.” This isn’t something someone can do just by hitting keys, but is a “national-level market-making strategy.”

From another perspective, if such a mysterious team really is manipulating oil prices, then the breakdown between oil prices, stocks, and the dollar becomes much easier to understand.
