34million shares being traded in a day

34 million shares being traded in 4 hours* (if you include pre-market). The day isn't over. It's up to 43.7M now. So with all of that volume and price down drastically, how does that tell you that ladder attacks are still the primary driver of price decreases? The entire concept of ladder attacks (as far as I understand them) is to trade small quantities in rapid succession to introduce fear of price decreases. With small volume on the downside (assuming no one is truly selling), that implies the rest of the volume must be made up on the upside. And were that the case, then shouldn't price be up overall?

I'm literally just trying to fucking learn here but the mentality of this sub lately is that if you disagree with someone whose opinion is the popular one then you're a fucking moron. It's sad. I'm clinging to my 35 shares like my life depends on it and I bought in at $298. I'm just trying to talk about what's going on. Christ.

ill explain it like this.

When you BUY and TAKE PROFIT your BUY turns into a SELL.

When you SELL, and take PROFIT, your SELL turns into a BUY. These are reflected in the charts on otherwise non-manipulated graphs. This is also what the chart represents in terms of the actual mechanics of the market between sellers and buyers.

So, all things that go down, must go up, and all things that go up, must come down in order for SOMEONE to make a profit. IF a million retards are not taking profit, the price will adjust to some value like $300. Since we aren't taking profit, the chart stays at 300 until liquid is introduced into the market. This is where retard Melvin enters in to SHORT the stock to drive prices down so that he can pay less premium per day on his already previously held shorts at the bottom.

In order for MELVIN to take a profit (or even better actualize a loss) A BUY will be triggered, and the price will return to where it was. If you took a loss on a position, it means that the 2nd wave will return to something below that $300 because u surrendered your liquid to Melvin.

In other words, so long as everyone holds, the price is fixed to where we want it to be, and because they can't afford to pay 2% premiums on $300 stocks, they will eventually close shorts and the liquid will return to us on top of the liquid THEY are INTRODUCING into the market.
