I understand what you are saying, but you are assuming a selling action equates to a "panic sale" that has no factual foundation. additionally, building bids in the OTC could just as easily be another manipulative trading technique of "matching orders" (party A has shares he/she needs to sell and party B agrees to buy them. Party B places an order at the bid or above the bid and Party A sells into their order) or even false support which would vanish (get pulled) if "hit" (sold into).

With illiquid/thinly traded OTC securities, wash trading is yet another manipulative trading technique that is prevalent (Party A controls multiple accounts and buys & sells between accounts to present an illusion of liquidity).

Labeling activity in "investor friendly" terms is also prevalent. "Panic sells," "Naked Shorting," "Market Maker Manipulation," etc. are all readily used terms assigned to actions with little to no proof (and in some cases by redefining benign actions because they carry negatively connoted labels [i.e. FINRA's "Daily Short Volume"]).

The overwhelming majority of factual based manipulative practices are undertaken by entities from within (insiders, affiliates, 3rd party, fellow "long(s)," etc.)...

... having said all this, I conceded in the Money Flow Chart update that the seller(s) appeared to be willing to let the stock breath a little from here...
