A buy is a buy and a sell is a sell regardless of the
bid/ask. Actually volume can be divided by 2, the buy
side of the transaction and the sell side of the transaction,
count as 2 volume units. So with equal buys and sells,
a volume of 500,000 can be 250,000 buy transactions and
250,000 sell transactions. This allows time to transpire
for scalping or whatever by the market makers. Look at
silver, The market makers can drive the price down, sending
the retail investors scurrying away. They push down forcing
the stop loss orders to be executed. And then reverse on a
dime. This may happen here. Maybe the accumulation is to
drive the price down on heavy volume, leaving the retail
investors stunned. And getting positioned underneath all of
the future buyers. This guys are shady bast..rds. They
just want to take your money. Somehow they know when to
reverse, and it is just when you sold. I don't know how
they do it, but they are good and a force to be reckoned with.
They can hold a stock or commodity down for years. Look at
silver and gold, to see the manipulation that went on for 20
years. Suppressing the price. The Big Banks were long silver
yet short the silver mining companies. And just before option
expiration, they would slam the price down making the calls
and puts worthless. These guys are good. And there out to
take your money.
