With such strong selling pressure, should I really liquidate my holdings?

You really need to keep an eye on crowded positions; if the volatility suddenly spikes, your reaction will be too late.

The crowded position is basically where the retail investors all place their bets, the warning signal before a volatility explosion, gotta keep a close eye on it.

Crowded positions are indeed risky, waiting for the liquidation show to begin.

ngl the positioning data reads like a tragedy waiting to happen... crowded longs and shorts doing that dance where everyone gets liquidated together. poetic chaos, really.
