L2 tactics have been pressuring the stock for months, if you pay close attention you can see signs of wash-trading, short selling, price-boxing & all the rest. For a long time the game was either to short the ask (or just above/below) & cover at the bid or gobble up shares after walling the ask. This was seen time & time again.
Shares here are undervalued, the manipulator imho wants control of the stock: He who gets in cheapest can control the sheeple.
Only, too many have been watching, become aware, are putting in AON (All or None/All or Nothing) orders & making the navigation of the downward pressure much MUCH harder of late.
Each day that accumulation, around this historically strong support level of ~$0.02, continues is another day taken off the boards & put in the longs pocket. The market correction is coming & the stock has incredible catalysts on the way. Buyers here are GOLDEN imho. I have been accumulating all I can of these cheaper than-outta-be SHARES & grateful for the absurdity of it all.
Don't know more about the "factions" except that there has been a great deal of history amongst shareholders. I could care less. The stock is UNDERVALUED, I plan to accumulate all I can until the market correction lifts my shares to where I think they are MUCH MORE FAIRLY VALUED. I don't think we go past the next week or two before witnessing this reality come to fruition.
