market makers play a lot of games and execution times or executions of orders sometimes get held back as well. not sure if it true, but one rumore i heard, is that someimes, MMs only execute sells at the bid, then sometimes only execute buys at the bid to confuse traders if more buying is coming in or if more selling is coming in.
all i know is, you LEARN A LOT playing in the 000s arena.
i still get faked out from time to time or maybe buy a little too high thinking that we are breaking out, only to recede back into the depths of 000 limbo, which is happening right now in DPLS and many others
0003-0006 madness, or even more evil is 0007-0009 just taunting/teasing at 0010+ breakouts
its also wise to bid sit when you want to accumulate shares when momo wanes a little, when momo is in full force, you slap that ask bc momo will drive it higher to some extent
25-50M in buys at .0007 right now would cause a little buying frenzy imo
