First, MMs already shook out the weak hands with a bounce off of $1.00
Second, MMs know they need to maintain a solid base above the last base of .80 or lose the upside as they still need strong handed placeholders. Think of a love hate relationship where neither can function independently ;-)
Finally, MMs are greedy and like to load in advance right up until the defining moment hence the holding pattern @ 1.50
Don't let the naysayers fool you. The goberment has been threatening to dismantle FnF for 5 years and are in the process of capitulating, and admitting they blew the pooch. They can't wind it down now no matter how much they may want to follow orders from their Bankster bosses. To bad so sad LMAO all the way to da Bank!
