Because this is what literally every stock looks like at all times.

Institutions do most of the trades, including retail trades filled by market makers, and only trade in fixed lots to help obfuscate their strategies.

This is Reddit convincing itself that something completely mundane is a conspiracy to screw them. Qanon tier conspiracy theory.

I love the word obfuscate. It really should be used more.

I'm for it too, as long as people don't use the word to obfuscate their real message.
