While others stare at this chart laid out in a flat line and doze off, my direction is already locked in. The price has been rubbing against the moving average for half a day without breaking down. Meanwhile, the big-house accounts’ long positions have already pushed up to 73%—and they’re still adding. Retail investors are too scared to move because of the range-bound action, but the smart money has already picked up the chips at the lows. This isn’t hesitation—it’s openly declaring the plan. By the time you see the price finally start moving, they’ve already pushed their costs to a level you can’t reach. The dealer won’t rally a wave to blow up the short crowd—otherwise it would be disrespecting the positions they’ve built at the base.
