Sea of blue on level two.

Don't let them have yours now.

They aren't having mine.

All the best.

We are in auction again.

Clear run available. Don't give them any.

All the best.

The issue with any institutional holder is that we only know if they are selling via a TR1.

However, the reverse is also true, so someone else could be buying and we would need a TR1 for that as well.

I think that any foreign investor has higher levels to reach before they need to issue a TR1, which may be key going forward.

Not sure us poorer PIs can affect it either way.

So much more to come here.

All the best.

Hi, PSB,
Not that long ago, when the MM auction was showing on level two, there would be thousands of shares shown against the various sp levels that come up. Now there aren't. I have tried to copy and paste this a few times but can't. My belief is that the MMs had shares to sell for Miton and that may no longer be the case.

Either way, it is easier for Mms to get shares by dropping the price as people panic. A few more solid buys like the 14k one that has gone through would soon stop that.

That is my understanding. Happy to hear different.

All the best.

Today, we have more buys than sells and the sp goes down. Yesterday wasn't too dissimilar.

The morning auctions on level two show that the Market Makers do not have many shares versus where they were a few weeks ago.

We can each make our own conclusions. For those in a panic to sell, all the best. For those in a position to buy, this is an unexpected opportunity ahead of news flow on any number of fronts.

All the best.

Today's share trades do not indicate that we should have dropped, so my belief is that the MMs know they don't have enough of these to cope with anticipated demand.

The shares were earlier described as "golden tickets". They are actually platinum tickets, so mine are going nowhere.

Bubba, the closing auction is when MMs trade shares to balance out what they will have available tomorrow. The last trade they make between each other will show as UT, which is the last uncrossing trade of the day and which will be quoted, probably wrongly, as the closing price today and the starting price tomorrow. None of that will matter when the first bit of news arrives (in my opinion).

All the best.

As with this morning's auction, there is nothing between here and 260p.

Watch it now if you can

All the best.

And less than an hour ago.

Great spot.

All the best.

And less than one hour ago.

Great spot.

All the best.

Hiya mstar,

I agree that Miton aren't the issue and your post got me thinking about how many more "holders" we might need to provide a base that would be more difficult to be shaken about because of day traders. No doubt I might get shouted at for this but here we go:

Of the 250m shares, there are 25m currently not being traded as far as I can tell from the Avacta website.

3600 holders with @64000 shares each, or 7200 holders with @32000 each would account for the rest. Not very scientific, I know but I also believe that there a number of holders with much higher holdings than that, so we don't perhaps need thousands more to get to where you are indicating.

As I said, I might get shot down here but it is only an opinion and I doubt that Avacta staff share holders are not holding onto theirs.

I think we are just one piece of news away from the first inflection point and that could be BAMS, LFT, Integumen, or my outside shot of Daewoong producing a therapeutic approach after Donald Trump's announcement yesterday.

However slowly this goes for now, I await AVA6000.

All the best.

Think that was the first tree shake.

All the best.

Think they may have finished as the auction a couple of minutes ago shows very little (apart from anyone selling) between here and 260p.

Not a ramp, just an observation from the auction, so we may see the odd tree shake.

All the best.

Doesn't look like the MMs got that many shares from the "no RNS" crowd this morning despite pretending that 193p was the start point, which it wasn't.

Logical people are now buying in around 184p, so I do believe we are in for a good day.

On another note, my song entry given the new "moonshot" programme is Rocket Man by Elton John as I believe that it will be Sir Al in charge of the rocket.

All the best.

Did you mean et Sir al there ?

All the best.

Level two agrees with you.

All the best.

The balancing UT trade was for 10000 shares at 193, hence the alleged new sp, so more likely the spread bet settlement or perhaps a buy as stated

The closing auction indicated that the bulk of shares for sale were at 200, presumably obtained from those people selling today.

Only an opinion but we appear to be nearing a take off point if people held, which I realise is not possible for everybody.

All the best.

Doesn't look like a balancing trade as it is does not say UT.

All the best.

People were smart enough to take off stop gains at 190p.

All the best.

Broadly yes. I think the first will sustain the push anyway and there are other avenues, such as Integumen, within that timeline.

Can't speak for Chengdo or he will set the boys on me @

All the best.

BAMS should be first looks correct to me.

Can't see the LFT being that far behind and happy either way round.

All the best.
