Man, 17m shares are squat. $1700 bucks. Daytraders more than likely. Just like the day you proclaimed "5,000,000 dumped so far" in AVEW. That was me and mine only. The ask was too thick with 6m on the bid so I took 'em and broke even and decided to try the 1-2 play if I can get 'em before the next PR.
Heavy volume down here is ambiguous and I would guess traders, MM's passing shares and maybe some dilution too. Just have to roll the dice to buy here or play it safe but risk a low OS count on top of the operational PR chasing game.
