This may sound somewhat conspiratorial but it seems as if there are some big players that are determined not to let price drop too much.
My system does not allow for longs in this environment, but it seems as if shorts are immediately being taken out. Not sure if I should keep trying to short now or just wait until the next upward march.

If so, is it common enough that no one would think anything of it, or does it get a reaction?
