Bull v Bear eh ?

128 sints v 28 trades

Logic v Bias ?

I think its all staring us in the face wiht this firm but ive been saying that for eons now. Time will always tell in the end.

You getting an RNS today ?

Raise or Stay?

'And with respect, counting “SINTs vs market trades” on its own doesn’t really prove manipulation either. In low liquidity AIM stocks, tiny prints happen constantly because the market structure itself is fragmented and noisy.'

Are you saying this is on AIM now ?

Multiple examples of manipulation

Monday afternoon a good one. The tape is easy to see.

16:20:14 check the sints from there. Multiple examples of this being totally manipulated since Friday.

No news should be ringing alarm bells for most now.

You have multiple examples of yesterday throughout the week. I think its easy to see its been manipulated especially the firm not issuing any update to support all this.

Fomo that could have bought at .2 bought in the manipulation at far higher prices. This needed news not this SINT and tiny prints to prop it all week.

Yesterday was 120 sints v 28 market trades. The SP is being propped up by manipulative means and that to me looks obvious.

Yes its my opinion. Just like you have yours.

But if this was organic niceness, you wouldnt have all the tiny prints nor the clusters of SINTS this has had since Friday.

These are decent clues tbf.

Its 1 of 3 things imo Ray,

Either a raise or a very large seller dumping very intelligently. Or a pro broker team rinsing this because they could.

The fomo buyers gamblers/punters got seduced into it and added to the hype.

Anyway, Lets hope bill understands the 4 p trades now

Its obvious that this is being manipulated Ray from Friday.

Fomo buyers bought in Ray ill never under estimate fomo buyers, but at the end of the day rises like this need to be supported it wasnt and every trading day has examples of this manipulation like yesterday afternoon.

Important Context

In a genuine, organic market for a small company like GST.L, you would not normally see hundreds of sints printing like this, trades printing in the exact same second followed by repeated micro-buys to hold the closing price.

These patterns are common in illiquid microcap stocks and are classic signs of tape painting and volume inflation, techniques designed to mislead the broader market about real supply and demand.

Under UK Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), creating a false or misleading impression of supply, demand, or price is prohibited. However, proving intent with small trades and clusters in low-volume names is difficult, so these patterns often continue unchecked.

Bottom line: If these sints and micro-propping trades are coordinated rather than natural order flow, they represent a form of manipulation that primarily benefits those unloading shares into the induced interest, at the expense of retail traders chasing the apparent momentum.

"Sints" refer to large clusters of trades that all execute and print on the tape at the exact same timestamp. In normal trading, especially in a liquid stock, trades usually spread out over seconds with natural variation in timing.

When dozens of buys and sells hit the tape simultaneously at two specific price levels (here 0.35p and 0.40p), it is highly unusual and often viewed as artificial. Creating fake volume illusion, By generating hundreds of thousands of shares in volume in just one second, it makes the stock appear far more actively traded than it naturally is. Retail traders and scanners often chase "volume spikes," so this can draw in new buyers.

Cross-matching / matched orders, In low-liquidity stocks, coordinated parties (or a single entity using multiple accounts/brokers) can arrange buys and sells to hit at the same moment. This is sometimes called wash trading or pre-arranged trading — buying and selling between related accounts to inflate volume without real change in ownership.

Notice the trades are concentrated exactly at the bid and ask. This can help maintain a wide but controlled spread while creating the appearance of active two-way interest.

Combined with afternoon propping, Earlier in the day they create artificial volume with sints, then later use tiny 10-share buys at 0.3999p to paint the tape and hold the last price near 0.40p despite large sells hitting lower levels. Together, these tactics give the illusion of strong demand and healthy trading activity.

Why it's manipulative (and risky for you)

* It distorts true supply/demand. The real market wants to trade lower (evidenced by the big sells at 0.33x), but small propped buys hide that.

* It's often part of a broader "pump" where insiders/promoters with cheap shares offload into retail buying. Classic pump-and-dump pattern in these micro cap stocks.

This pattern is manipulative if the intent is to mislead the market about genuine supply/demand. It's cheaper and easier in illiquid names regardless of the exchange tier. Similar tactics have been investigated on LSE before in microcaps.

Treat this as high-risk speculation, not investing. The propping can stop abruptly (or reverse when sellers overwhelm), leading to sharp drops.

Watch

* Actual volume-weighted average price (VWAP) vs. the last price.

* Order book depth (level 2) — thin books make this trivial.

* Consistent patterns over multiple days.

* Company news/fundamentals (dilution, cash burn, etc. are common in these).

If you suspect ongoing abuse, you can report to the FCA, but individual small trades rarely trigger action without broader evidence. Stay cautious — the tape in stocks like this is often not trustworthy.

How this manipulation works ("tape painting")

1. Create false appearance of demand, In low-volume stocks, even tiny trades can influence the last sale price that many platforms, charts, and scanners display. A few 10-share buys at the ask (or above) can "paint" the tape green repeatedly, especially near the close ("marking the close" is a related tactic).

2. Attract retail or momentum watchers, People scanning for "unusual volume," "green candles," or "buying pressure" see the propped price and small prints as bullish. Algorithms or retail traders pile in, providing real liquidity for the manipulator to sell into.

3. Control the close / key levels: The 430PM tape paint timing (or end of session) is deliberate — closing prices matter.

4. Asymmetric execution, Larger sells can be absorbed or routed differently, while the propping buys are aggressive small prints visible on the tape. The manipulator(s) might be using multiple accounts, brokers, or coordinated parties (wash trading elements if crossing with themselves).

This is a classic example of "painting the tape" (also called tape painting) in a low-liquidity stocks. It's a form of market manipulation that's illegal, but it's unfortunately common in thinly traded microcap names like this one because it's hard to detect and enforce perfectly.

* Repeated tiny "Buy" prints at 0.3999* (just 10 shares each): These hit frequently (e.g., 16:17:27, 16:00:39, 15:55:27, 15:53:53). They're minuscule, but keep the last trade price elevated

* Bid/ask spread shown as 0.30–0.40, which is wide and typical for illiquid stocks.

The quoted/last price looks stronger (closer to .40) than the actual supply/demand would support, while real selling pressure comes in larger blocks at discounts. This creates a misleading "green" or "strong close" appearance on charts and time-and-sales ("the tape").

Multiple 10-share trades at 0.3999p appear throughout the afternoon. These tiny trades (costing just £0.04 each) repeatedly push the last traded price to the 0.40p level.

Significant sells that printed are then followed right after with a very small trade, The 4p trade is frequent and easy to spot, , this pattern has played out the whole pump.

Several large buy-side blocks (hundreds of thousands to over a million shares) were executed, yet the price was consistently supported near the top of the range using very small trades.

The bid/ask spread remained wide at 0.30p – 0.40p, reflecting the stock’s low liquidity.

What This Pattern SuggestsThis activity is consistent with tape painting techniques, where minimal volume is used to maintain a higher last traded price and create the appearance of strength, despite substantial selling pressure at lower levels.
