I had a sneaking suspicion this is why they reversed course so quickly. I have the feeling this might spread to the US and elsewhere. Kind of similar to the meme stocks of GME and AMC. These were shorted by major institutions and when common people bought these stocks, there was the mother of all short squeezes. I wonder if a run on the banks will happen and lead to a financial crisis?

I see Candace Owens saying (and I think others):

"I’d recommend every person pull their money out of big banks (Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, TD Bank) and open accounts at small local ones. I did this as a News Years resolution. We have given them too much power over our money."
