WPNV HOLDING TIGHT HERE .....With the market makers “stomping on the ask” and “walking it down” by continually lowering their selling price, they also drive the bid down. It may even fall below what people were eagerly buying them at. Before too long, the weak hands join in the selling and increasing volumes provoke even more “panic” selling. The market makers are usually aware of when the stock finds a bottom and replenishes their stock or cover their shorts at the bottom.
