Think of it like this - MM;s are used to trade sizes around 50K max say, day-to-day?
We're trending up 8-9% demand is high, book is all over the place as is anyway....
1M share Sell straight into the market (without a Buyer/Demand) - simply Supply/Demand, it eats up the order book so the price has to drop to find new buyers, do that a few times and you're down 5-6% then everyone else jumps on board to sell because price is dropping.
Algo's are picking up on the heavy book movements and now selling too.
They basically flooded the market with say 6+M shares without immediate buyers and tanked the price.
To me it was hook-line text book play, the way it's trading today tells me that too.
