I'm with ya. We use the short excuse too often. I don't think this is a short attack. If it is, it was weak.

Looks like just some profit taking. Which as I understand but actually reduces the likelihood of a short attack, as it brings the RSI down.

I hesitated to even say anything because its impossible to know if any rumor is founded. In the end I know there are some here who fight back when there is a bonafide short run. So I thought it would be good to be prepared.

But I'm not seeing it. Just a healthy consolidation.
