Welcome back to the channel everyone today i want to talk about how the shorts are running out of steam and how that endgame is here so stay tuned and let's make some money. But before i dive in with the key information, i wanted to ask you all a question, because i need your help. I want to create a quickfire amc q, a series, so i can create some more content on my channel, but answer your burning questions. I've already got some ideas like talking about if hedge funds have enough money to pay for the squeeze and how we'll get paid or what might happen to the amc price during the squeeze or how to tell if amc is squeezing and what to look out for.

In terms of market manipulation or how we know that the hedge funds are trapped and can't escape or if the synthetics can just be deleted or reset and the squeeze cancelled, but i also need you to leave me some more questions down below letting me know what Questions you want answered most, maybe i could pick one or two questions every day and create some quickfire videos answering your most burning questions, but now i'm gon na dive straight in with the key information, so mickey tweeted, saying with short volume down massively. It appears the hedges are running out of steam to shore. He said he's gon na keep an eye on the short exempts today: aka marking short transactions as short exempt or mismarking short transactions as long to see how they avoid contracts expiring in the money. Obviously, since november december time the short volume as a percentage of total daily trading volume, has consistently sat between 50 60 and even as high as 67.56 percent, so that basically means that, on a singular day, 67.56 percent of trades have been short trades aka hedge funds, Trying to push the price down of amc even further, obviously before november, this percentage used to regularly sit as low as 28, but used to really sit somewhere around 30 to 36 percent on a daily basis.

Now i think, since november december, that's when we've seen the real manipulation of the amc price prior to november and december amc was consistently trading for 40 or above sometimes, obviously as high as 60 to 70 dollars per share. But since this november december period, amc has consistently fallen down, obviously from around 40 dollars per share to lows of around 10 per share, but obviously, over the last two trading weeks, the short volume, as a percentage of daily total traded volume, has again been hanging around This 36 to 40 percent area, now whether the hedges are physically running out of tangible shares to short or they're just more concerned about shorting because of the current sec and department of justice investigations, i'm not 100 sure. But what i am 100 sure on is the fact that this short volume, as a percentage of total daily traded volume, is decreasing and is holding this decreased level. Now, obviously, again over these last two trading weeks, the price of amc has increased from around 10 per share up to 13 to 14 per share.

Now, obviously so far, that is a small move, but the last time that amc short volume as a percentage of total daily traded volume held around this lower level. The price of amc increased from 35 per share up to 45 per share and therefore, if we can hold this reduced level of short volume, percentage, i'd likely expect amc to continue moving upwards back towards the 20 30 region and above now, this chart basically shows the Total net short position and the value of that total net short position over the last year. Now, obviously, if we look back to may and june, obviously the price of amc was running up significantly and therefore this total net short position was at one point, negative 30 billion dollars and therefore, at some point the shorts were down 30 billion dollars. Obviously, due to the run up in the amc price, also guys, if you haven't already be sure to send them to moomoo, using the link in the description below to get up to seventeen thousand five hundred dollars in free stocks, mumu and future have also officially announced That they do not accept payment for order flow and therefore moomoo is brilliant for buying amc and gamestop.

Mumu also recently received the award of being the best trading platform, because it's so easy to use and incredibly customizable, but obviously since july, that total net short volume has reversed and instead of being negative, 30 billion dollars has increased to around a total of positive 2 Billion dollars, i think what this chart is showing is that when we see these small bars above the line and when we see the total net short position being positive, it means the shorts are obviously in control. But when we see many of these blue bars below the line - and we see the total net short volume, also being very heavily negative, that's when retail investors are in control. Obviously, the shorts have been in the driving seat since this november december time, when we had the cross positive and these bars were holding above the line over the last five months, but obviously, over the last two trading weeks, these shorts are starting to lose control. I think if we see this total short volume or net short volume bar turn negative, that i think is when amc is likely to run up and is likely to squeeze again.

I think this just adds to the fact that shorts are running out of shares. To add to their short positions or they're choosing not to add to those short positions due to the current ongoing investigations, i think to reinforce that idea. I've seen tons and tons of tweets very similar to this over the last few days and over the last week or two boss, tweeted saying this has been interesting waiting to get td ameritrade to confirm my purchase. First, my td ameritrade investing app was down, and now my order sits waiting when the price i want to pay is higher than the current ask.

It's been 10 minutes and the order is still not going through. She said what's going on, is there not? Many amc shares left available and therefore can td ameritrade not fulfill her order. I've seen a number of similar screenshots on platforms like fidelity and obviously on robin hood and weeble. Many users are struggling to have their amc, orders fulfilled and they're, either being cancelled, not fulfilled, or that amc buy.

Orders are instead being sent through the dark pools. Instead of being sent to lit exchanges, i saw one user who placed an order on the iex exchange and the trade was instead filled through the dark pool. And i saw another user on fidelity that had placed a number of trades that were consistently being cancelled. Or only partially filled for a few shares and not his entire order being filled again.

I think this just really supports either the fact that the shorts are running out of shares to short, because we've obviously bought all of them and they're struggling to create more or they're deciding not to create more due to the current ongoing sec and doj investigations. Now, a few months ago i would have said the sec and doj investigations mean nothing because there's been no action, but over the last two weeks, or over the last few weeks, we've seen a massive increase in the action being taken. Obviously, bill hang has been arrested. His top two lieutenants have snitched on him and he's starting to snitch on other funds like morgan stanley for short selling and their short selling communications.

Again, just the other day, we've seen gabe plotkin decide to wind down his fund because he knows the feds are doing their investigations and he's probably one of the top targets on their list and again something to me that shows the shorts are running out of steam And running out of firepower is the fact that amc and gamestop are becoming increasingly more volatile. Pre-December we'd be lucky to see a 20 or a 30 run in a full trading day. Sometimes it may take two full trading days to see a 10 20 30 percent run, but obviously the other week, amc and gamestop saw a 40 run in only 20 minutes. I think this just goes to show that, when these hedges are losing control, even on a minor scale, they're losing control in a massive way and amc is becoming increasingly more volatile when they have that slight slip up instead of amc running by a dollar or two Or running by say three to five percent.

Amc is running by 40 in around 20 minutes, and on top of that, i think ken griffin is getting increasingly more desperate, mickey also tweeted saying if adding extra cash into the stock market via six hundred dollar stimmy checks breaks the market, then you've really got a Serious problem with the market that poses systemic risk, don't forget that around ninety percent of the stock market is held by the wealthiest one percent to ten percent of american investors. Retail investors really make up such a small portion of the overall market. In many stocks, like apple amazon, microsoft and more retail holds less than five percent of the flow. Amc and gamestop are really the only two stocks in the entire market where retail holds a decent portion and therefore it's not the retail investors and their dollar stimmy checks that are breaking the market.

It's these over leveraged hedge funds that have taken their positions to such lengths that it would bankrupt the entire fund if they tried to close and nazim also tweeted this screenshot from bloomberg. That says about 2 350 stock-related hedge funds last month dropped below a threshold that typically activates clauses requiring them to slash exposure. Aka margin calls - and it says, with many headed towards a level that mandates liquidation according to an industry data provider and therefore there's around 2 350 hedge funds that are currently heading towards liquidation, because of just how over leveraged, they are not only on their long positions. But on their short positions as well and as sven tweeted, he said it turns out, a soft landing was more transitory than the word transitory.

Over the last two weeks, we've seen a massive change on what jerome powell has been saying. Back on the 5th of may jerome powell said, the fed has a path to a soft landing, but then jerome powell changed his mind slightly and said that a soft landing is still likely as the fed is tightening aggressively. But once again he changed his mind again and said that a soft economic landing may be out of the fed's control and as of seven hours ago, it's been changed once more and he said the us economy may face a hard landing fed seems to be consistently Changing their tune, especially over the last few weeks, and it's looking like a recession, is more and more likely and market rebellion. Also tweeted saying deutsche bank says the market is pricing in an imminent recession.

I think so far everything is heading towards the economy. Experiencing a recession, the stock market crashing even further and that leading to the amc and gamestop squeeze all of these hedge funds are evidently heavily over leveraged and that's why 2 350 of them are heading towards liquidation and obviously, when these 2 350 hedge funds end up Being liquidated, they'll be forced to cover or close out of all of their positions, including their amc in gamestop shorts, causing the squeeze just like funds that are heavily long on stocks, like apple amazon and tesla, when they're forced to close it will crash the market as They sell off their long positions. Stocks like amc and gamestop will squeeze as they're forced to close out of their shorts, so guys be sure to leave a comment down below and also to ding that notification bell, because that way you'll be alerted. When i upload a new video cheers,.
