It's friday evening, around 3:00pm 3:30pm one of the if not the worst time to be short. Seen a lot of other people mention it too, but I know from personal experience as well.
Yes, but I am just speaking in general terms, not particularly about today as these are extraordinary times. Even using today as an example if you were short or started to short around 3:30pm time and didn't cover for profits you likely weren't very happy. But if you don't believe me just go back and look historically.

That's called a selling opportunity in this big bad bear market. But most will ignore that opportunity.
