Buy vs. Sell Volume:
Every trade involves a buyer and a seller. For every "buy" (when someone purchases shares), there is a corresponding "sell" (when someone sells those shares).
Whether a trade is classified as a "buy" or "sell" depends on whether it was executed at the ask price (buy) or the bid price (sell).
Impact on Share Price:
Upward Pressure: If there are more buyers willing to pay higher prices, the share price typically rises.
Downward Pressure: If there are more sellers accepting lower prices, the share price tends to fall.
Why This Happened:
The poster notes 57 million shares bought and 150 million sold. The heavier sell volume creates downward pressure on the share price, as sellers are willing to accept lower prices to exit their positions.
Even if there were large buys, they were likely matched by larger sells, leading to a net negative impact.
