The Metagame — Narratives and Social Dynamics

Every module up to this point has been about tools — frameworks for reading price, understanding structure, analysing liquidity, and contextualising the broader market cycle. This module is about something different. It is about the layer above the tools: the social, psychological, and narrative dynamics that determine which assets attract capital, when they attract it, how long it lasts, and when it ends.

In traditional markets, this layer exists but is relatively slow and somewhat predictable. Analyst upgrades, earnings seasons, macro policy shifts — these are the narrative catalysts of equities and rates. They unfold over weeks and months through established channels with relatively predictable participant responses.
