$ARE Likely because the macro market tanking this week, giving opportunity to the players listed below since they know REITs, especially this one, are vulnerable to these conditions and are especially ripe for manipulation. The buy side is inherently going to be thinned out for many reasons mostly related to treasury yields so
1. Short sellers will sell and scalpers who are taking profit will try to get out of their position
2. There is coordination or orchestration from some large institutions to force price down when the bid is thin in order to accumulate. 26:1 ratio is crazy. That’s like if I wanted to buy
$META at
$500 but the price eas at
$700 but I theoretically could drop the price by
$200 by only selling
$8 of shorts when the bid is thin. All of a sudden meta is at
$500 and because there’s weak volume I can accumulate for days or weeks on a tiny upfront investment
