What you are witnessing is "legal" market manipulation.

The hedge funds and institutions are capable of making large purchases and sales, which effectively move or suppress the share price. They play all sorts of games, buying and selling stocks between hedge funds etc.

Don't expect Powell to do anything about this. He is busy renovating the Federal Reserve, and has huge cost over runs, which may cost him his job.

Jack's assessment of how the share price will move up is spot on. It will happen in a volatile fashion with large increases all at once.
