RE:Nearly a million shares dumped with stop losses hit A million units isn't us small retail investors. That's big boys and girls taking a dive.
They are privy to way more information than you and I are.
You're into it far more than most retail investors, but the big players rule the game.
There's either a new light coming over the horizon and they want to be ready for it or they're stockpiling cash so they can purchase at much lower prices when the market takes another anticipated plunge.
This is nothing new, it is however a pretty reliable signal among large players, such as institutions that something positive/negative is happening or when it does, it will be all but unavoidable.
We've all seen this scenario play out before and humans being humans seldom change their strategies.
