I heard the same DTL. My guess is that number is a good bit higher now. There were too many days in the past 6 months that went down for no good reason. The other thing that bothers me is when someone buys at the ask, how many times is that immediately met with a sell just seconds later.
A couple of things that fall into the tinfoil hat category.
A transaction at the ask, and seconds later a transaction at the bid or lower. Then nothing for long periods of time.
End of day paint jobs to the negative, like yesterday.
Setting the ask just slightly below a recent buy at the ask. ie .015 then .01499 then .0149 within minutes.
The habit of driving the price down before lunchtime.
All of this points to manipulation, and yes I do have my tinfoil hat on.
Production will cure these ills. Could be an epic run if we get some good news on a couple fronts.
