So this is an honest question from a trader that is still pretty green to this game.

Looking at the past two weeks closes its so flat you could use it as a spirit level. I know we all cry manipulation and whatnot, but to me seems suspiciously consistent. I guess all I am asking is;

Is it actually all that unusual in the first place, or can genuine holding patterns look like this?
Is there any credibility to the idea that its big holders slowly offloading as they know that 19-19.5 will get reloaded with people that believe the story? (Not even in an inside knowledge way, just there comes a point when cash now is worth more than cash later)

Of course the disclaimer, I have been in for longer than most here and will continue to hold, but I never let a learning opportunity get away from me.
