What was absent

Nothing was recorded this week under order-book manipulation, corners and squeezes, information-based schemes, benchmark and cross-market, crypto-native. An absence is worth noticing over months, not over a single week — most of these categories produce a handful of actions a year, so a quiet week in any of them is the normal state rather than a signal.

The charts are where a real trend would show up. A week is noise.
