News, FUD, FOMO, and Engineered Narratives

Most retail traders treat news as a cause. Price moved because of the headline. The Fed said something, so the market reacted. A coin pumped because of the partnership announcement. A protocol crashed because of the hack.

This lesson teaches you to flip that frame entirely. News is not the cause. News is the cover story. It's the excuse deployed to justify a move that was already pre-scheduled on the chart. Once you see this, you can't unsee it.

The Charts Whisper First

Start with this principle, because everything else in this lesson grows out of it:

There's likely to be news released on CX to justify whatever TA has already been unfolding. The charts whisper.

The order of operations is reversed from what most people believe. The chart sets up. The whales position. Then — and only then — the news drops to give retail a story to tell themselves. The story exists to manage your emotions, not to inform your decisions.

This is why I say: if you're a news and sentiment-driven player in this game, you're always 3 steps behind. Whales control Whale Manipulation🐋 both the move and the narrative. They write the script and hand retail the role of bag holder.

The most devastating bearish news transforms into the most explosive bullish catalyst. The most euphoric bullish news flips into the harshest bearish reality.

This is the art of psyops, manipulation at its finest. It's how whales win. It will never change.

The Cycle of Engineered Narratives

Always remember what type of news gets deployed at each stage of the Market Cycle. It's never random. It's engineered to manipulate sentiment.

• 📈 Only bullish news at the top.
• 📉 Only bearish news at the bottom.

And here's the part most miss: whales often validate the news, just enough to lure in retail at the worst possible timing.

• They'll echo bullish narratives when they're about to sell.
• They'll amplify fear when they're about to buy.

Then they leave investors behind, both at the top and the bottom. If you don't understand this game, you'll always be late. Not because you're unlucky, but because you're listening to the wrong signals.

🧐

I've said many times that FUD or FOMO news is related to what whales are releasing rather than influencer opinions. If you watch the timing of news drops carefully, you'll always see FOMO and FUD aligned with what whales need retail to do next. Social Media and Pump & Dump cycles are run on this exact mechanic. The job for you is simple: Play Contrarian.

Reading News as Confirmation, Not Cause

Here's the reframe that changes everything. News is confirmation of what the chart already said. It is not the trigger.

A practical example: 💎Tips On Charts

Definitely a Spot buy at $0.473, and here's a good level to expect some kind of very bullish news release, because they always want to front-run Retail🧠.

• They wait for major key-levels to hit before releasing those bullish news.
• Retail is blind to reality and claims the price exploded because of the news, when in fact it was planned — a "scoop & bye bye" on a major liquidity level.

Look at where the money is on the charts rather than the ⛽️💡 news if you want to avoid falling for the traps most players fall for.

Price Action Rules for News

📈Price Action Rules

• Sudden bullish news will send price to HTF 🗝️ levels (higher).
• Sudden bearish news will send price to HTF 🗝️ levels (lower).
• "Price Discovery" is the hope stage — speculation on what market cap a coin can reach. That's the retail game.

News doesn't create new levels. It accelerates price toward levels that already existed on the chart.

Timing: When News Hits Tells You How Big the Move Is

The most impactful news, capable of moving markets dramatically, typically breaks when markets are closed.

If such news hits during trading hours, it hints at the potential severity of its impact.

• Markets open? Less impact.
• Markets closed? More impact.

WHO monkeybullshitpox-style announcements happening during trading hours give a glimpse of potential repercussions. Retail investors rarely get the chance to brace for a crash. Study past market downturns. Trump dropping that announcement on a weekend wasn't random — it was timing.

Bearish news, or what I've previously termed "🌊 of fud," tends to intensify as markets approach a bottom. Watch for Signs of Bottom and prepare for Buying Bottoms. Manage your positions carefully regardless.

FUD: Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt

FUD is Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt — and it is one of the primary tools of Whale Manipulation🐋.

Two things to understand about how FUD operates:

1. You don't get told it will happen, have time to prepare for it, and then it happens. It doesn't work like that.
2. Fear levels must be consistently high, because fear shuts down the part of the brain designed to solve problems. Notice how there's always non-stop major fear and "refurbished" fear news affecting global markets where trillions are floating around?

There will always be FUD, and there will always be FOMO. Be on the right side of the game and you win.

Why FUD Hits at HTF Key Levels

Bearish Level♨️

See why we sell at HTF 🗝 levels? Once they're taken, some BS always happens. Never before. They're profiteering from this game. Find their biggest moves on HTFs and expect a repeat once there.

What most do not know — and the ones who do aren't telling you?

• If it's small caps, a "hack" will do.
• If it's Bitcoin, FUD as we're seeing this week will do.
• If it's the stock market and currencies, events like a pandemic or war will do.

The stronger the financial instrument, the bigger the "event" must be — whether to pump it or dump it.

Look at the charts (HTFs) and see where price action goes before reversal. I don't make the rules. Everything is a money game. Once you know this, your game will change from following the herd to playing alongside whales, and the outcome is just common sense.

Coordinated FUD Examples

The pattern repeats with surgical regularity:

• Tether FUD → people take their $ off exchanges.
• USDC FUD → people take their $ off exchanges.
• Binance FUD → people take their $ off exchanges.
• Coinbase FUD → people take their $ off exchanges.

Big moves vibes every single time. The next step in the template is exchanges freezing, users unable to buy because they don't have funds on-platform, then the panic-chase pump.

A textbook coordinated FUD example from Fantom:

[Oct 12, 2023] $FTM very near HTF "support." If they release bullshit FUD in the near future, the move will likely be a deviation back into HTF range.

Five days later, as promised: ⚠️ Fantom foundation "hacked" ⚠️. Same shit, different day — phishing attack, hackers, blah blah. Time to scoop HTF liquidity and reverse it back up.

Throwback 2021. Coordinated FUD. China x Elon team up again to buy cheaper. Just send the elites to jail already.

And there won't be any bullish news once reversal kicks in. Retail will be very fearful, believing it'll be another failed rally, in Depression stage. Stay in the game and you'll catch the bottom. Buying Bottoms

Look at the SPX during weeks where the FUD was non-stop:

Because this fooling of millions of people into wrong investment decisions is exactly how less than 1% of all investors play it right and become filthy rich.

More from 2022 — after this, up only. Buying Bottoms

BTC FUD = BTMFD!

Tether FUD can simply be deployed so retail doesn't buy the last drop before reversal — they'll have no funds on exchanges and the move will happen fast. Smart money buys, retail then chases.

FOMO: Fear of Missing Out

FOMO is the mirror image of FUD. Where FUD scares retail out at the bottom, FOMO lures them in at the top.

My advice will always be the same: learn to be profitable in any market conditions and you won't have to round-trip your bags over and over again. Stop buying into parabolas because you feel FOMO. Either get a pair and buy the scary lows to then sell INTO the parabola, or get out of this game because you will lose everything.

How to Operate Without FOMO

• Accumulate gradually.
• Ignore if it's gone up.
• Ignore watching the coin if you're fully out — it will mess with your emotions and create future bad decisions.
• Don't marry any coin. Buy lower → sell higher, rather than buy low → sell high.
• The wishes to sell at 20x and 100x leave investors in the red forever.

FOMO Indicators

I like this "metric" because it tells me dumb $ is coming in fast:

When influencers are screaming targets, when news outlets only start covering a coin AFTER the pump, when retail is being told to hold and add — that's the exit liquidity phase.

In January 2022, banks forecasted those levels and dumped the markets while retail was buying on the expectation of seeing those levels. Now they pump until those levels and claim they were right but with a 1-year "delay" because of "the economy is bad bruh," and come around with "I told you so!" despite getting retail investors REKT. 🍿🎥 Selling Tops

FUD and FOMO in the Same Week

Last 7 days: 🇨🇳 makes you feel FUD/PANIC by banning Bitcoin for the 100th time.

FED chair J. Powell makes you feel FOMO/Greed with just 4 words: "No intention to ban."

All in the space of 7 days. If there is one thing I'm personally not doing: FOMOing.

The RSR Textbook Example

[Dec 4, 2024] Notice how the news about RSR surfaced on CX only after the pump, not before — and now some are claiming it's about to moon.

The average retail investor often sabotages themselves by chasing PA rather than sticking to a disciplined strategy.

• When news breaks, they panic-buy, eroding what might have been a strong average cost basis.
• The cycle continues as fear of missing out drives them to buy into the inevitable exit pump, only to be left holding the bag as the smart money exits.

The manipulation retail investors face isn't solely about pushing them to panic-buy. Many hesitate to buy after a sudden moonshot, fearing a pullback. Whales' job is to condition them into not selling and longing tops, so they end up liquidated and call trading a scam — when in reality, trading is the most life-changing skill in existence, if mastered.

By creating the illusion of limitless upside or fueling narratives of long-term gains, they trap investors into holding through every P&D cycle, never realizing profits while the whales cash out.

Study the latest on RSR to understand how whales operate. As soon as there's a ⚡️, they release these news not just to tempt you into buying more, but to keep you from selling a single coin.

📝Journal this. You'll have a laugh later when you find the patterns yourself.

"Hacks" — The Cover Story for Flushing Small Caps

Whale Manipulation🐋

If you want the opportunity to long/buy bottoms, long/buy into "hacks" — IF there's untapped HTF (4H or higher) liquidity. As long as you're not greedy with size, set a SL below the liquidity level, and set TP targets, your R:R will be great. 🎁Hidden Liquidity Levels / 🔷Risk Reward

"Hacks" are the excuse to send price after HTF demand levels, IF there's PA showing liquidity at lower levels. The same happens for HTF supply levels when sudden FOMO news is released, IF there's PA showing liquidity at higher levels. 🌊Liquidity (+Wicks)

If the untapped levels exist on the chart... free $. Retail will be pointing fingers while whales are 🥂.

"Hacks" on smaller caps. On larger caps it needs to be something bigger. On huge MC financial instruments it needs to be a pretty big "event."

The Hack Template

How many have noticed the template?

1. We've been "hacked"
2. We've identified the exploit
3. No issues

Profits taken. Same shit, different week.

Funny how so many small market cap coins (under $500M) end up being "hacked" and stop bleeding at HTF 🗝 levels. They don't even try to hide what's actually going on anymore, but somehow retail can't see. One just needs to journal them and find the pattern.

We might see a lot more "hacks" when whales want to buy the bottom while ⛽️💡 retail. Notice how these "hacks" ⚡️ send altcoins into their HTF long-term liquidity levels before reversal. Retail will be looking for reasons; it's all about $.

But be careful with one thing: there's no such thing as "cheap." If a coin dumps below previous ATL without PA data showing where whales might have interest in buying back, it's just buying on hope. Coins can stay in Death Spirals where each of your DCA positions reaches -90% one after the other. Wait for MS to confirm before assuming reversal.

Hacks Are a Bear Market Feature

There are no "hacks" during bullish trends. It's a feature of bear markets, before HTF reversal.

[Dec 31, 2023] Remember when $ICP was a scam? When $SOL was a security and going to $0 (at the bottom)? When Bitcoin was never going to recover? When $KAS crashed on ASIC's FUD and was "dead"? When Cronje "left" Fantom and price crashed exactly to where we were waiting for an HTF long entry? When $GALA was tangled in a lawsuit at the bottom? When $AGIX was "dead" because "AI is a bubble"?

Everything's "good tech" again. The only thing needed for everything to change 180°: price go up. In the future, everything will be a scam again. Be out before the drama.

More recent hack examples:

FOMC and CPI: Volatility Catalysts

95% of all "news" is staged. Until you understand and accept that, it will be hard to make $ in this game. Market makers wait for the news to make their bigger moves and blame it on the news. That's why they scoop highs and lows when FOMC happens — and another FOMC is always coming ⏳.

If you watch, MMs always use FOMC as the excuse to make their moves.

• That's not retail moves at all. They can't be that fast, and they can't have such impact on price.
• It always goes and scoops key demand level and key supply level. Stop above/below those is wise. 🎁Supply & Demand

CPI

CPI is the Consumer Price Index — used to measure Inflation, announced by the FED Reserve cycle.

CPI does nothing apart from accelerating PA for a short period of time.

[Dec 1, 2022] November inflation report will be released on December 13th. On the 14th the FOMC concludes followed by Powell's speech. The market reacts on the 13th because we can already infer what's most likely going to be said the next day once we see the inflation numbers. Stage 1 pivot.

The lesson with FOMC and CPI is the same as with hacks and FUD: the event accelerates the move toward levels that were already mapped on the chart. It does not create the move.

Recurring Market Events

📅Market Events (Reoccurring)

"Events" do nothing more than accelerate the moves that are already pre-scheduled. They're the excuse for such moves, so retail has something or someone to blame, completely blind to how this works. It's all programmed.

Quadruple Witching

Whale Manipulation🐋 ❗General Market Rules

[Dec 12, 2024] Most volatile quadruple witching of 2024 next week?

Here it is for the lazy ones

London Tube Crypto Ads

Last time an advertisement like this happened at the London tube, it was from Luno advertising Bitcoin — not 1 month before that major crash in May. DOGE FLOKI shill shill shill.

• Q2 2021 London tube crypto [Luno] ad → major crash.
• Q4 2021 London tube crypto [Floki] ad → major crash into a bear market.
• Q1 2022 into Q4 2022 → bear market.
• 2023 up-only, but far from HTF premium on the most important charts, so the heavy shillin' happens later.
• Q1 2024 London tube crypto ["Killer whales"] ad → altcoin halving.

War

War

Since the conflict in 🇷🇺 vs 🇺🇦 started, Bitcoin is up +39% and many altcoins had a massive relief rally.

Buy the invasion.

I had the same thoughts when this happened but the bottom ended up being in November.

• Bitcoin pumped nearly 50% following the announcement, with altcoins rallying more than that. A 50% move on Bitcoin can translate into multiple X's for a skilled trader. But if you're always waiting for the perfect bottom or exact top, you'll sit on the sidelines while opportunity passes.

Throughout history, whenever there was a major war, or major illness, then there was a great time of prosperity.

[Jul 27, 2025] The reversal happened when we heard about the U.S. bombing Iran. War

End of Month / End of Year

[Aug 29, 2021] EOY might bring a sell-off for tax threshold purposes. In countries where cryptocurrency is taxed, people rather take profits during this year IF they still have threshold margin. Otherwise they may enter the following year selling and already capped early.

End of month pump and dump ✅. Almost 2 years in a row now. Good data. MMs went for liquidity while retail blamed Silvergate/Coinbase. Elon tweeted a 🐻 a few days before.

Elections

Elections Tops vs Bottoms (Bull vs Bear) Bull Vs Bear

Pre-elections: bullish. Post-elections: bearish.

[Sep 20, 2022] S&P 500 performance after Elections:

Chinese New Year

BTC Predictions

🇨🇳 New Year has always been bullish for Bitcoin. Set alerts for late January '25. It will be different and you can make $ shorting a local top.

Christmas

[Nov 10, 2022] Christmas rally. It will start getting trendy now. MMs now have enough liquidity for major moves. Retail will forever blame up or down moves on Powell. Classic.

[Dec 8, 2023] Those Christmas days? The "elites" want brand new newbie players 🔗 into the game. A good way to do it is allowing the "crypto-bro" in the family to have an argument to call himself a genius — and then everyone asks how to buy cryptos, download wallets, etc.

In short: Numba go up while families gather for Christmas (induce FOMO).

• Wash trading shortly after.
• Numba go higher toward US tax deadline (mid-April '24) alongside 1st interest rate cut.
• Significant pullback → Numba go higher before US Presidential elections (buying votes).
• "Death-spirals" left & right in 2025.

Moonboy season eventually has them more euphoric, telling you to HODL longer and DCA into any pullback. That's when you fuck it all up. Maybe shitcoin mania around Christmas, short-lived, ape in, see some gains, get wrecked shortly after. The usual.

US Tax Deadline

[Mar 23, 2023] Good chance to see a pullback happening by US Tax Deadline (April 18th).

Black Swans: The Biggest Cover Stories

Black Swan The Elite Whale Manipulation🐋

A black swan is an unexpected event that can have severe consequences for investment markets — like the start of Covid.

But here's the thing: a black swan can be forecasted because it is often induced by whales. There's nothing "organic" in this game.

[Feb 26, 2025] It's never a question of if an elites-engineered black swan event will happen. This is a certainty. The only real unknown is what excuse whales will use to justify the crash.

Markets don't bleed out slowly forever. At some point, they take the elevator down because that's how whales maximize profits, force liquidations, and conveniently roll out a narrative to wash their hands clean.

The key to success in this game isn't about playing along with the herd. It's about avoiding the major traps.

Black Swans Recur on Schedule

Black swans in crypto always happen every few months — it's the elites' excuse to dump their bags while blaming it on the news. It's not an if. It's a feature of this game. The same happens in any investment market, but less often vs. cryptos.

Most "events" are staged, especially Black Swan events in crypto. The goal: liquidity 🎁Hidden Liquidity Levels. They need an "excuse" so retail stays pointing fingers. This is why CZ can "predict." This is why Elon can "predict." Elon Musk TA

FTX's "black swan" allowed MMs to scoop billions of $'s sitting below $17,500 BTC for 2+ years. "Black swans" like FTX are the perfect "excuse" for MMs/whales to scoop long-term liquidity at lower levels. They put one black swan after another and scoop more, and more — Luna, Celsius, FTX. Retail stays pointing fingers while they clean trillions.

The Bigger the Liquidity, the Bigger the Event

[Jun 9, 2025] Bitcoin & SPX

• February '20 combined value: ~$28.46 trillion
• June '25 combined value: ~$58.92 trillion
• Difference: $30.46 trillion (107% increase)

2020's black swan: global pandemic.

[Jul 17, 2025] The more dollars get pumped into the markets, the bigger the elites-induced event crafted to drain them later. Black Swan

• Liquidity in → narrative out → wealth transfer complete.
• Yes, it's great to see your bags pumping, but when the entire market's mooning without brakes, it's a setup.

In manipulated systems, major global events aren't always random. They're often the excuse the system uses to justify the inevitable crash it already planned. It's a double-edged sword: one side prints money, while the other takes it back, violently. Lives included.

Elon once said: "One more lockdown, my King." That wasn't random. It was foreshadowing.

If there's more money in the markets than ever before, expect an elites-induced "event" that'll be bigger, louder, and more destructive than anything we've seen before — or at least very destructive for the unprepared.

Study the Pattern Yourself

[Jul 16, 2025] Go study SPX's steepest corrections — even the "smaller" ones around 10% — and dive into the news headlines from those exact dates. Ask AI the right questions and start connecting the dots.

You'll start seeing a pattern so clear, it'll help you understand every future "why" long before the herd even starts asking. You'll eventually, almost always, be positioned early for the most profitable swings.

Case Studies in Real-Time News Manipulation

The "All Bearish News at Once" Tell

Gotta love when all news is released together. Before, it was all bullish news at the same time. Now it's all bearish news at the same time. Silvergate. KuCoin. FED's rate hikes. Influencers spreading the FUD. They really want us to believe nothing's planned?

This is when FUD was released, one influencer after the other. Bottooooom 😂. Then FOMO kicked in, the SEC sued Coinbase and Binance (⛽️💡) plus wallets FUD so investors didn't know where to send their coins (they'd lose coins on wrong transactions, or send to exchanges and cash out — recording transactions on KYC venues instead of private wallets), and suddenly BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin ETF.

I truly fucking love this game 🔥.

Recession Headlines Mark Bottoms

[Oct 19, 2022] "Recession" is starting to go viral on mainstream media. It's happening. Countdown to reversal date.

The date on the article was practically the bottom on SPY LOL.

They will "fix it," induce another run (shorter-lived vs. previous), and then everything will finally break.

[Oct 12, 2022] Financial Times: "JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon warns US recession 'likely' in six to nine months." His "hidden message" to his peers: Recession is on for countless months. Recession will be over in six to nine months. 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲.

"The country is entering the longest Recession in modern history" — Bank of England, at the bottom on all markets. Imagine thinking the elites would not give you the wrong information so you get REKT while they get richer.

Forbes Calling the Top

[Oct 28, 2024] Posted 2 days ago on Forbes 🇮🇳:

The coins were ETH, ATOM, KAS, and XLM — posted after explosive moves and a parabola on hundreds of coins (including Bitcoin) during the prior weeks. This is how they call the herd to buy at premium. Herd consensus: the biggest bull run of all time is around the corner. Place your bets.

So, it just became more reliable than ever I guess 😏.

December 20th, 2022: the world's "Top stock strategist" got millions of investors REKT by being giga-bearish at the bottom.

They're the world's "Top Masters of Deception."

"Sell the news" After the Fact

"The ETF was a sell-the-news event..." — most crypto influencers.

"Dear Mr. In Hindsight, thank you for telling us the obvious, after it happened. Next time, please let us know before so we can sell and short the local top."

[Jan 11, 2024]

[Nov 27, 2024] Keywords: "Crashed" and "Novogratz warned." Forbes being Forbes:

Normally, this would be +1 confluence for alts to go higher.

Truth That Hurts

If truth hurts, unfollow me and go watch the news.

LTC [Feb 19, 2025]:

These news events never appear at extreme lows or near them — yet somehow, soon after price breaks bullish on HTF and isn't too far from ♨️ levels Bearish Level♨️, they suddenly pop up. Meh, coincidence... or just another perfectly timed narrative drop to fuel the next wave of exit liquidity.

[Mar 4, 2025] I'd recommend unfollowing the most popular crypto news sources — they're pure psyops. It's all manipulated. Programmed. I just happen to know how. And often, when. That's all.

Bull Trap Headlines

[Mar 24, 2025]

This headline is absolute garbage, nothing but a manipulative, deceitful pile of lies meant to sucker people into believing Bitcoin is some magical savior during economic collapse.

At least we know it'll be a bull trap to validate this narrative and wreck the herd after some "gains."

The headline has just been deployed on Forbes, and the use of the word "would" isn't random. It implies potential, contingency, and timing not yet active. Details matter.

The whale playbook, simplified:

1. Create bullish sentiment.
2. Pump the market so retail feels confident.
3. Start selling while retail buys.
4. Dump the market.
5. Create bearish sentiment.
6. Dump even more.
7. Accumulate while retail sells.
8. Pump the market.

News as Confirmation of Reversal (April 2025)

[Apr 22, 2025] The Saylor FUD and exchange withdrawal freezes were more confirmation of a reversal. I've lost count of how many times I've told people to watch those two major indicators.

Some people follow you for a short while and think they already understand the whole market. They're still far from your level. With all the bad news already released and the market having a 90-day postponement, it was time to buy.

• Indeed. The bad news wasn't a warning — it was confirmation. Recession talk, SPX dropping, Saylor FUD, and exchanges freezing withdrawals are classic signals for those who actually understand market psychology. True edge shows when you can adapt through layers of information and shifting probabilities. That's where the line gets drawn between the real players and those pretending. It's not just about calling levels. It's about reading the game while it's being rewritten. Most can't even see the script.

The Pattern Repeating

[Jun 12, 2025]

[Jun 25, 2025] -33% since their post.

[Jul 24, 2025] The psyops though...

[Jul 21, 2025] Funny how Atkins only declared that after it pumped over 100%:

Not in April when it was at the local bottom 🧑🏻‍🦯‍➡️.

• Sworn in on April 22nd, when ETH started running — said nothing. Now near $4,000 he's officially stating the obvious.

[Jul 27, 2025] 2M views and 80K likes for something Johnson has never said:

[Aug 14, 2025] Not a negative whisper for weeks. ETH taps macro supply and suddenly the headlines appear. Totally random, obviously.

Is this the phase where the ETH treasury companies buy in and then pump after?

• So it was retail pumping ETH from $1,300 to $4,800?

[Aug 25, 2023] In 1999...

[Aug 22, 2025] They're saying the guy who talked about "Bitcoin" before Bitcoin is nowadays piling into ETH at all-time-high — yet no such news at the lows? They really know retail investors are NPCs.

How to Use This

You don't need to predict every headline. You need to know that headlines are a layer of confirmation, not a layer of cause.

The framework you take into every trade:

• The chart shows you where the move is going.
• The news tells you when retail is being positioned to be wrong.
• The bigger the financial instrument, the bigger the "event" needed to flush or pump it.
• Hacks for small caps. FUD waves for Bitcoin. Wars and pandemics for indices and currencies.
• FOMO at tops, FUD at bottoms. Always. It will never change.

🏆Win the Game doesn't come from being faster on the news than the next retail trader. It comes from being on the chart before the news. Look at where the money is on the charts rather than the ⛽️💡 news. What you see on the news is often a distorted reality. Look beyond the mainstream narrative that most people accept without question.

Once you see, you cannot unsee.
