I don't know man but that sounds like paranoia. Where do these traders go to apply to get supposed control of a free market with people letting it happen so to speak. Next to sesame street perhaps. I don't believe such grand designs exist with retail or small traders all working in collaboration with funds or market makers to steer a stock price. If so then nobody would be scanning or trying to create learn or read articles or videos anymore, because supposedly the chart has already been predetermined. Nope.

The chart's been going down because people have been trying to buy the stock in an obvious downtrend and getting turned into bagholders, adding to the selling pressure. It's not anymore complex than that. When they give up the selling pressure is diminished and the stock finds support. Lately the positive deals have been showing up in the macd indicator as bullish divergence imho. People are indeed buying as the deals happen. The price just lags.

Using all this as a lead-in for more controls or regulations won't work. Search the internet for when short selling was banned for a while, not effective. Neither was when the asian markets tried to tell their traders they couldn't sell positions. The market just waits out these interferences and continues on where it left off.

Exercises in futility, trying to affect or change how people act with a bunch of new rules or controls. Nothing changes. Even the IBD people in their webinars say the markets look and behave the same even back in the graphs they made from the 1800s.

Just my two cents here not trying to argue. Later...
