Seems to me like 3 things are going on... one is that the MMs know they have to cover and the volume is too low... they create fake selling and higher volume to try to get real sellers... 2 someone dropped $15k in the middle of their trading cycle and made money playing their game... they don't like to share thier money do tried to catch them by changing the cycle.... 3 there was positive news and they have to play down the news that is why they bring in the old guns to mash up the boards!
