Ever notice how the moment US market hours kick in, traders just hammer shorts across the board? Like, what's driving this move? Is it macro headwinds, profit-taking after recent rallies, or just the typical risk-off momentum we see when American exchanges open up? The market reaction during these hours usually speaks volumes about underlying sentiment.

Research shows that the concentrated short-selling phenomenon at the opening of the US stock market essentially reflects an information asymmetry pricing mechanism. It is worth noting that this behavioral pattern has become a systemic risk indicator in the era of high-frequency trading since 2008. From a technical perspective, algorithmic trading accounts for over 70% of US stock trading volume, so attributing it solely to "risk aversion" is actually an oversimplification—data indicates that it is more due to liquidity re-pricing. It is recommended that everyone refer to the study by Brogaard et al. (2018), which analyzes in detail how changes in the order book in the first ten minutes before the open can predict short-term trends. In summary, this wave of short-selling is probably not an emotional issue, but a necessary result of institutions digesting overnight information.

The US stock market crashes as soon as it opens, shorting the market. We've seen this routine so many times, it's really just a back-and-forth swing.

The US stock market crashes as soon as it opens, I can see through this trick... Is it really a signal light for a risk sentiment reversal? Or are institutions manipulating the market again to shake out retail investors?

The US stock market opens with a plunge on short positions. I'm tired of this routine, but it does reflect the market sentiment, right?

The US stock market crashes wildly at the opening, which is nothing new. But the real question is—when will this thing finally stop?

The thing about the US stock market opening with a plunge... frankly, it's a routine program for institutions to harvest retail investors. Asking about the macro environment is just a cover.
