yes i would agree there was some of that- however, a lot of it was "creative bid / ask" designed to make it look like things are worse than they are.
For example, post a 500k block at .089 on ask, and hope that some retailer gets scared and posts on the ask ahead of it at .087
the 500k .089 block was fake and you could not buy it if you tried. but it scares the average person looking at L2, thinking "everyone is selling I should too". then it all feeds on itself and the MMs sit back and enjoy the show, fanning the fire as needed.
MMs can walk a good healthy stock down 10 cents no problem, when retail presence is light.
Tomorrow should be interesting.
Buy companies with cashflow, execution & undervalued mkt cap. Don't base knowledge on what someone said on a message board. Don't use stop losses- EVER. Lock your shares by placing GTC sell at high price, MMs & shorts cannot borrow them to affect price.
