the box is where i noticed the bear raid and the first bounce a more detailed view on a 50tick chart could they have done this without the abolishment of the uptick rule?

EDF eyes Constellation bid
By Ed Crooks in London, Peggy Hollinger in Paris and Julie Mackintosh in New York Wednesday Sep 17 2008 19:10 EDF is considering a bid for Constellation Energy (NYSE:CEG) , its US partner, even as it prepares finally to set the seal on a sweetened £12bn ($22bn) offer for British Energy, the UK's nuclear operator.
British Energy's board met on Monday and concluded that it was expected to be able to recommend the EDF offer. However, some technical details remain to be resolved and the deal could still collapse again at the last minute, as it did in July.
Meanwhile, the French group's board met in Paris on Wednesday to discuss the group's options for further investment in the US, where a crisis of confidence has sent its US partner's shares crashing in the past few weeks.
