It's blunt but "retail investors are morons" (to use the words of your quote) is definitely accurate more often than not. They often buy out of FOMO and sell based on emotions because prices are falling. The institutional investors who are less emotional most certainly take advantage of this by buying during times like this. It doesn't mean they're manipulating the price, it's simply retail investors who can't control their emotions making the decision themselves to sell right into the hands of the institutional investors. No one forces anyone to sell when prices are falling, retail investors simply choose to succumb to the emotions and follow the herd

And small run? The price has run massively over the past few months. You gotta zoom out mate, this is merely a fluctuation in a clear uptrend
