So he is saying large firms use money to pump up prices early morning to promote FOMO and chaos and they would trade the predictable chaos and even after they sell their initial pump, they still make money?


No.

He is saying that some firm own lots of $stock that they buy-and-hold. They then buy smaller amount of $stock early in morning to cause a swing up in price. Over course of day, the ability to influence price declines, so they can sell the amount they just bought without influencing price as much. Sell for profit or loss, doesn't matter.

The root goal (how they make money) is that they should have influenced the price enough that the large buy-and-hold stock they own has increased in value. Specifically, they want the "overnight" price change to be more positive than the decline across the day (again, by pumping up the morning price). They don't have to buy/sell, its more the value of their holdings are higher.
