That's a straight-up y-axis manipulation play. When you're looking at the chart, 1.4 billion down to 522 million looks like a total collapse, right? But here's the thing—it's actually less than a 3x move. The numbers don't lie, but the way they're plotted? That's where the magic trick happens. Whoever made this chart knew exactly what they were doing. Compress the bottom half of your y-axis, suddenly a moderate correction looks apocalyptic. It's one of the oldest tricks in the playbook—make the data tell whatever story you want it to tell. This is why you can't just glance at charts and react. You've gotta check the actual numbers, look at the scale, see if someone's playing games with the axis. Happens way too often in market analysis and financial charts. Always verify before you take it at face value.

Haha, fooling people. I've seen this kind of chart trick many times. Compressing the y-axis instantly causes the entire picture to collapse.

Haha, this is a typical market manipulation technique—compress the lower half of the y-axis to make the decline look terrifying. In reality, it's only three times, but the visual effect is maximized.
