this explains what happens better than i can but it's funny that CNBC never mentions it. This is the third or fourth time since the March crash i've seen it and it just so happened to coincide with the WSB fukkery.... it's obviously planned but nobody wants to acknowledge it on air.

One cause of flash crashes stems from computer programs or algorithms. Using algorithms to trade has become increasingly popular. Computers can take large amounts of data and make large volume trades within a second, outside of human capabilities of reasoned decision making. Some algorithms are programmed to react to selling pressures. For example, as more sells are made, compared to buys, the algorithms start selling, too. This creates a snowball effect and at the speed with which computers make trades, a sudden plunge in the market occurs.

This shows you the power of the 80% and how little control retail really has. I see no issue with retail getting a few wins like they did with GME..

Funny because I was just watching this a couple weeks ago.
