$BEAT A single long bearish candle slices off the retail investors’ meat; the master’s money is quietly, without a sound, piling into the long positions—big accounts are shrinking, yet positions are being added, and the chips are being clutched tighter and tighter. This is the shape of discarding the chasing crowd and concentrating firepower to do something big. The thickness of the buy orders on the order book presses against the sell orders, and the confidence of whoever will take the counterparty’s paper is right there in plain view. Stand with the main force—don’t use your money to buy into this washout.
