For anyone whose short this is incredibly bullish price action, market going up like a stair case, and only going sideways instead of pulling back, looks like price action you would see when shorts are trapped IMO. There is a floor right now below all the bids, from all the people who are short today, so it cant go down.
yes, the speed is what kills...when you're short and suddenly prices just trickle higher, form a ledge, trickle higher, etc...I just get out if/when I'm short because it's like water torture.
