The tricks the SOXS market makers pull just keep getting more elaborate. The whale accounts’ long-to-short ratio still looks pretty high, but in just seven hours the number of accounts shrank by nearly a quarter, and open interest dropped sharply too. Calm on the surface, turbulent underneath—the big players are quietly trimming their positions at these elevated levels. Futures open interest is bloated, but the price is barely moving; it’s all just a smoke screen to confuse retail traders. Set your stop-loss before entering—staying alive is what matters. I’m so numb.
