I seriously suspect this is a drag~
Going long is aimed at hitting the stop-loss levels of the shorts, and every time a position is built, it's at the highest point of a breakout, this time it's even more obvious. The previous few times were during a sideways phase where it broke out upwards. The main goal is to cause short stop-losses, then the team behind him goes short to absorb these stop-losses, and in the end, they easily shift the blame, portraying themselves as victims…
