There is a strict control in rising, but un-control in falling. This is a typical strategy by which the buyers want to kill the sellers/flippers/shorts at prices as low as possible. If you watch BAA price actions carefully, you will find the tradings now much different from past. Stock markets have three types and the big boys treat them accordingly. These three types are: 1, a company is in a stable stage, no growth no shrinkage; 2, a company is in a shrinkage stage; 3, a company is in a growth stage.
Below I will give their trade patterns (price and volume). Basically, in a stock, big boys always win. So, I will analyze how they work.
1, in stable stage (a company with no growth and no shrinkage), their strategy is un-controlled rising and un-controlled falling. They pump the price as high as possible and dump the price as low as possible. they just buy very few shares to push the price very high and very fast(un-controlled rising), and then they sell their shares at the top when retails follow the price rising. after they finish selling they will sell very few shares to drag the price very low and very fast(un-controlled falling), then they will buy at the bottom when retails follow the price falling. When they finish buying they will start a new pump and dump cycle. So, for this pattern, high volumes are at top and bottom prices.
2, a company in a shrinkage stage, their strategy is un-controlled rising and controlled falling. They buy very few shares to push price up as high as possible and then sell as many shares as possible, when price is falling they push up again and continue selling. Finally, the big boys exit the market. So, for this pattern, a little buying increase price a lot, but a lot selling just decrease price a little. that is, low volume when rising but high volume when falling.
3, this is your question. why 2M BAA share buying increases price less than 200K BAA shares selling decreases price.
I think you already have the answer now, but I still want make it clear.
Now BAA in growth stage, the big boys want in. They buy a lot BAA shares, so BAA price starts rising. Then they sell a little shares drag price as low as possible and then they continue buying. When they finish buying the majority of shares are in the big boys' hands the sellers/flippers/shorts are removed at almost near the bottom. Then the big boys will push BAA to any level they want.
