What's happening here very simply is more Buyers than Sellers and Demand overwhelming Supply. The MMs will always play little games during quiet moments plus there were alot of doofs that got cleaned out today. Strong whales are *always* here to support and take it higher at the correct timings.
Man I couldn't have said it or explained better myself.. I've watched this and level 2 closely the last 3 days and I agree 100% the trade pattern was very unorthodox.. I didn't like what I was seeing on L2 that's what kept me from buying I just couldn't pull the trigger based on my trading methods.
