Shaking the tree or tree shake is a phrase to describe apparent attempts to manipulate the price or rattle existing holders in an attempt to purchase for themselves.

The expression most likely stems from the practise of shaking a tree to cause any loose fruit to fall to the ground. In a sharemarket context the phrase suggests that holders might be 'shaken' into selling their shares.

Thank you
