Maybe it's because they need too much to worry about. If in fact we do get the ball rolling next week it may not make much of a difference in how little they are able to cover in the next week or so. To cover they must buy AND sell to try to keep the price down. When it goes, they won't have that opportunity, it's buy , buy, buy. JMO but I think they will cover low and slow for as long as they are able.
