$UNG Friday's action looked textbook—high volume sweep that flushed out weak longs and trapped stops, classic liquidity grab. Price action stabilized afterward, which tells you supply was being soaked up rather than fresh selling pressure kicking in. From a psychology standpoint, that kind of move doesn't scream continued downside momentum; it's predatory accumulation masquerading as panic. When volume spikes like that and price finds support, you're usually watching smart money absorb retail stops. Market microstructure 101.

Smart money is accumulating, while retail investors are still panicking and selling. This wave is truly a textbook-level shakeout.

Smart money is again harvesting the little guys; this wave of order sweeping tactics is too old.

ngl this friday's move was cooked—classic smart money recipe. they're marinating those retail stops like a slow braise, not dumping supply fr. textbook liquidity grab seasoned with just enough panic sauce to flush out the weak hands. when volume spikes and price sticks? that's your signal they're absorbing, not selling. market microstructure tastes right here.
