Didn't see until now the crazy amount that was traded in the close :o
That is the thing. 40k or more was matched at the ask after the open, and we didn't move up one cent.
Another assload was matched, again at the ask, at 2.10, before the close.
It happens all the time, every day. And I can't find a buyer. What makes it suspect (if it isn't already), is that it doesn't matter who is on the ask. NITE, CDEL, ETRF, CANT. They all seem to have an unlimited supply.
Now, if you wanted to manipulate the share (lower) then creating an illusion (that we can't go up) might very well work. Fake volume is always manipulative (and prohibited) anyway.
