Because that’s exactly the perception the MMs are trying to create here so they can cover
I’ve truly never witnessed a stock be held down so much in my time here, even on the initial run up from subs, especially with a float as small as this one.
I’m in another stock with essentially the same float (120m) that’s waiting to complete a r/m. That stock will go up 100% on 2m volume. That’s exactly how this one should be trading and gives insight to the games being played.
Anything with such potential is worth them smashing it down to load. It's just that simple, and will happen every time. They're not going to let anything run until they get their fill first.
