I totally disagree. The whole market sold off both times GME squeezed, then popped back as GME receded. Bonds did the same this week. I could be wrong, but this tells me that people on the short side had to liquidate positions in order to maintain margin. I don't know any retail investors who can move the ten year. The fact that PFOF brokerages are the ones that halted buying tells you something about the nature of the buyers.

Of the retail participants with a position in the shares, what percent of the total positioning do you think is on the long side versus the short side?

Of the short positions, what percent do you believe are from retail traders?

That's the line of questioning that you have to answer for yourself. Might help if you stopped using hyperlinks as a surrogate for reasoning.
