ProShares split all ETFs w/ 3wks notice

This is TQQQ-SQQQ chart.

I warned of the ProShares split, and it got little mention in the news since the announcement. This is one of the most popular ETF companies in the NYSE, with $550bn in ETFs. This is a big deal. They decided to split ALL ETFs, on short notice(3 weeks), right before the biggest pullback since covid? Impeccable timing or what? The norm for announcement-to-split is 2-3 months out, but they split within 3 weeks!?

For example, AMZN recently announced a 5/27 split; and GOOG who announced 7/15 split in December.

The 22nd phenomenon is just when new contracts start for the next month; but looking at it from an ETF Giant's point of view you may glean something from the moves here.

Did they know there was a problem? When? Did this help cause it? Any theories welcome. I'm not 100% sure what to make of it, but ProShares seemed to know exactly when to reset the books; and didn't give retail much notice.

P.S. Establishing resistance below 0 on this chart would make it an official bear market.
