Usually, it's simply not worth the time trying 'work out' why a share is moving sharply lower or sharply higher. These are the dark arts of the Market Makers at work! They move these shares around for all sorts of reasons.
'Stop Hunting', 'Forward Trading', manipulating to a lower price, in order to fill a large order on the book, placing fake buy/sell trades on L2 etc. with absolutely no intention of ever filling them - but these things move share prices folks, as Private Investors think 'that something must be about to happen'!! The market moves accordingly, their work is done and suddenly those orders simply disappear - but without having been executed!! It's all hugely manipulated but the MM's have to make a living; poor soles!! It's all (just about!) legal too and goes on day in, day out. . .!!
As long as it hits my projected £8 in twelve months, then quite frankly, I don't care what games they decide to play! ATB
