THE TRUTH ABOUT SARDINES
đ¶ Institutional Movement (Explained without beating around the bush)
1) The drop
This strong plunge â âretail panicâ.
Itâs book cleaning: institutions drop the price to sweep stops, capture liquidity, and buy cheaper.
2) The valley
When it forms that dry bottom (83k), itâs typical of absorption by large players.
Concentrated volume + long candles = someone big pushing, not sardines buying 200 reais.
3) The reversal pivot
This vertical exit is an institutional signature:
quick, clean, without hesitation.
Sardines donât coordinate this type of movement even in dreams.
4) Why retail has no power here
Retail:
buys in bits
sells in panic
never pushes a candle of 2â3%
Institutional:
trades blocks that move the book
decides where the price goes, not âifâ it goes
creates traps to force retail to deliver liquidity
5) Moral of the story
This chart is a classic portrait of the real game:
Retail reacts to the price.
Institutional fabricates the price.
And what you feel in your skin â losing on timing, exchanging currency at the wrong time, seeing the asset recover just after selling â is exactly the side effect of the dance they command.
