Still buying into the same old story? Long positions account for 65% of large traders’ accounts, and nearly 80% of their positions are long. The number of accounts has kept climbing over the past seven hours—this is the kind of market that scares retail traders off, not one that sends the big players running. The price has climbed back above the moving average, and short-term large-order flows have turned positive too. The candlesticks may be sluggish, but the charts make it crystal clear who’s holding the chips. Everyone says this sell-off has been brutal, but it’s the sidelined onlookers who got burned—not the ones who bought at the lows. You see the bandit enjoying the spoils, but not getting caught and punished. By the time you see the meat, all that’s left is someone else’s scraps.
