"They" are following their recent game plan once a
Post# of 72440
Anyway, they let the price rise early in the day, to get the panicked small-trader shorts from the lieHUB trading gangs to cover. Then, they will try to walk (or tank) the price down later today, to induce those same guys to re-short (and, they hope, try to get people who just got to break-even to sell), and allow themselves to cover or accumulate.
Then, near the very end of the day, "they" stop trading and let the stock settle wherever it does.
