Here, I think, is what you're not recognizing.
VERT is a "diluter." He's showing 5K because he has a ton of dilutive shares to sell, so he doesn't reveal his actual amount. The default is 5K, so when that's what he's showing, you can bet he has a different/larger amount.
Now when VERT was parked at .0004, there is naturally not going to be any movement up from .0003 because there is no money to be made, i.e. your chance - as a trader - of buying at .0003 and then flipping at .0004 are severely hampered by VERT's presence there at .0004, both because you'll have to get in line behind him most likely, and, again, because of the probable quantity of his 'true' hand.
But that is why it's so important that VERT has moved back. Last time he did so, we ran HARD.
In other words, it wasn't lack of news that kept people from buying before the last run, it was VERT's presence. It was not news that ignited the last run, it was VERT's having moved back, and thus created the possibility for upward movement and trading to occur.
