That would be Naked Shorts by MM...? If yes than Indeed, its a huge part of the equation with Supply imbalances, especially in a stock with a bullish trend, MM's know whether or not there is supply for sale and where it is. They manage Inventory by creating it when its a news related run within a trend. They always know a certain % will buy too late or too early and give back the shares lower or too soon depending on the play. If the stock had been in an artificially deep hole, once out. Behavior changes and so do the tactics. Of course Short intent, not on news, is more difficult to determine than Investor intent ( buy and hold) where selling just dries up. Trade obfuscation is the number one issue omitted from all market metrics that I know of. Perhaps in the trade there is a different description for it, and thus seeing it as a condition of a stocks current trend may be occurring but no one seems to describe it. Which clarifies the fact that Intent of the buyer or seller is all important to the impending price. IMO supply demand metrics set the tone of the trade, I've had numerous lock ups over the course of the last few months, this shows up as stock for sale, but you cant get filled or get funny partial fills. Sometimes you wonder if any of what your seeing is real INTENT being offered, or a smoke screen to deflect interest. All IMO.
