Yes just cuz a stock closed above open doesn't mean upwards trend is given. What it does mean, here especially, is that even with the selling pressure, so graciously pointed out by you, the Bears did not decimate the price TODAY. L2 does tell story: MM Steadily moved this up hour by hour. dilution not DILUTION occurred , if you catch my drift..
Tomorrow, as always, is a new day. Let's see what happens..
