Too Add Another Point11 Nov 2021 21:57
When you see a stock gain or stand still while with the sell volume is higher than the buy volume, this normally indicates the price is being held up.
There are a few reasons for this, but normally its because the MMS are keeping people on board until they are ready to drop the price.
Remember, MMS make money on the spread, so their interested in big falls and big gains, its typical AIM, stocks can have good days, but the MMS decided how much the buys and sells are worth.
It makes me laugh when people like me come here and say negative stuff and people think this drops the price, the reality is the price will always bounce around until news comes in, which bring overwhelming pressure to rise or fall, but this happens once a year maybe twice.
If it was just as simple has the more people brought it went up, then stocks would just go up and down in a straight line.
But stocks are designed too be hard to trade, they have more downward trends than upwards, they make people believe that something big is going to happen and they have all the time in the world, which is why 85% of investors loose. They generally buy on the upward trend then get stuck waiting on the downtrend, then finally a upward trends starts and because they have been waiting for so long they wait for more profit but then get stuck in another downtrend.
Finally they sell at break even or a slight/big loss because they need their money.
But every now and then buy and get lucky, just at the right time, it shoots up and you sell, but this is only ever once in a while.
Think about this, how many off you have been 5K/6K/7K up but held because you're waiting for more money, only to wish a week later that you had sold?? the Market Makers design this so people stay in waiting for the big money.
Its all manipulation!
