Effect of late posted trades!20 Jan 2021 17:55
Interesting to analyse the two chunky late posted trades that have just gone through and shown as Buys well I believe they are in fact Sells!! I’m showing them below together with the actual bid/ask that was prevailing at the time of those trades!
They are:
09:04 - 4,000,000 @ 2.90 Bid/Ask was 2.90/2.98
13:40 - 12,000,000 @ 2.62 Bid/Ask was 2.70/2.75
It’s interesting to look at the summaries of trading volume posted on LSE today:
Total volume = 102,927,368
Total volume bought = 49,995,810
Total volume sold. = 37,478,117
Total Bought/Sold combined = 87,473,927
So the difference of 15,453,441 is largely due to these two chunky Sells. Goes some way to to explain the SP drop today!
