This can only continue as long as we're still waiting for news. Once we get the news I believe that not only will the trading range be substantially higher, the volume will be many times our daily average, the MM's will have little control of what's happening daily.
I agree with those who say the Journal won't come out without something from the company first, that something will probably be a TLD statement that indicates the Journal is about to be issued. It could all come minutes to days before the Journal. I suspect the clinical trials update will come at about the same time as well.
