Key Findings on Manipulation Tactics
The 4p "Ceiling": The resistance at 4.10p–4.18p is precisely aligned with the strike price of 117.2 million remaining cash warrants. By keeping the price below this level, "short" interests ensure these warrants remain unexercised, preventing the company from receiving approx. £4.68 million in cash.
Post-RNS Liquidity Harvesting: On 4 February, the stock hit 4.18p on the back of record revenue news. However, it was immediately "slammed" back down to 3.70p. This is typical of Exit Liquidity being used by large holders to sell into retail enthusiasm without moving the "Offer" up.
Algorithmic "Dusting": The trade logs from 6 February show consistent trades of 1, 2, and 50 shares at the 3.34p bid. These are likely automated "ping" orders used to test the bid/ask spread and keep the "last price" print at the absolute bottom of the trading range.
Off-Book Activity: A significant portion of the volume on high-volatility days (Feb 3 and 4) was executed "Off-book," allowing large blocks to be traded privately and reported later to avoid triggering a public "buy" rally.
Despite this technical suppression, the company confirmed on 3 February 2026 that it is progressing toward financial close and construction on its third FlexGen site, moving away from dilutive PLC funding toward non-dilutive SPV structures.
