Someone is selling on the ask. They want out in the $8 range, if the bid was high enough and this stock was more liquid, they would dump onto the bid and you’d see the “volume” confirmation you’re looking for that someone is trying to get out..
Count all the sales in the $8 range for the last month and ask why we haven’t been able to most past that range. Because there are shares stacked at this that price. Those are shares for sale.
