If it is, this is quite scary because if anything goes PEAR SHAPED in JAPAN the market will go down even further and we do not want that to happen at all. I do think though that much of the JAPANESE volume is also created by many CHINESE who cannot do anything in CHINA because of all the bans there, so they have moved all their volume to JAPAN. This is just my theory and I do not have proof to back it, but this is just an assumption that comes from pure logic I guess. I do hope more countries get more active in the markets.
Yes, they are scary numbers. I just checked on the internet if it is true and it is true - OMG
