It’s not unusual for the OTC cannabis sector at all
There have been 3 widespread manias in the cannabis sector
Jan-Mar 2014
Sept-Nov 2016
Dec-Jan 2018
The weeks leading up to them were all just like this
People assume that because the manias were so large, that there must have been some type of anticipatory runup into them
But check the charts in Nov/Dec 2013, July/August 2016 and Oct/Nov 2017
And realize that all 3 previous manias were based around dated catalysts, and in spite of that certainty, there was still no real anticipatory runup — even if one wanted to make the argument that there was an anticipatory runup in 2016 because the mania preceded the catalyst itself, the mania literally erupted overnight with zero warmup, so there was no preheating effect — the MJ sector was completely dead in July and August 2016, especially during the last week of August, and on the very first trading day of September the mania sparked literally overnight

11/8/16
1/1/18
All 3 previous mania-inducing catalysts also enjoyed much more media coverage beforehand — many prospective investors were aware of Colorado’s Rec MJ sales launch, The 2016 Rec MJ State Elections and California’s Rec MJ sales launch well before they occurred
Federal Hemp & CBD Legalization has no definitive date and the prospect of Hemp & CBD Legalization has garnered very little national media attention prior to its occurrence — so if there wasn’t an anticipatory runup for the past 3 dated manias that experienced a fair amount of anticipatory media coverage, then why would there be one this time around, when there is no date certainty and very minimal anticipatory media coverage?
