Nope, false assumptions all.

You were assuming the short had read the hit piece (two pages) in a lightening speed, which is illogic. -Dan88

It was three minutes after the article was published before selling volume picked up. Hardly lightening speed and plenty of time to scan the article.

I expect the reaction is to the headline and that the article is posted, not a carefully read analysis.

The 3rd and 4th minute bar after the article are all just slightly elevated volume. At that point, we have a technical break below the NWBO low of the day. That in itself triggers stops which resulted in a wide range bar at 11:22.

This shows the first stop triggers went on at 11:22, with the next two bars being the big volume panic selling. Everything after the technical break is likely reaction, stops, panic, daytraders, etc. Not necessarily reading the article at all.

They knew what would come, and they were prepared for that moment. It is a classic coordinated short attack or price manipulation if you would. -Dan88

Anyone who knew what would come would have established their position prior to the article. There was ample time for this, and tweets that foreshadowed an article. The only question was when exactly.

It is useless for a short to jump in 5 minutes later when most of the decline was over, stopping in the next bar 6 minutes later. That is classic panic selling and stop triggering.

A short would initiate his position at a higher price, earlier.

I have noticed you have always come to the defense of AF. Is that right? -Dan88

A chart analysis of the effect of the article is hardly a defense of it. It is an observation. Lol.

IMO, one would have to be blind not to see that Adam Feuerstein article affect the NWBO share price. Rather than fume and rage, I prefer to analyze the effect and plan accordingly. It's hardly rocket science.
