It maybe institutional traders or maybe retail traders, we dont know.

Session snippet from 8/24
On the next day we see prices dropping and large blocks are placed not at the high places but on the low. Again it supports the idea that majority scalping trades go with the momentum and not with Buy Low and Sell High idea.
