Unfortunately I have no faith this would get any positive results.

This has been a depressing week, however I feel that this AI explanation is helpful-

The MSCI Global Small Cap Index inclusion of ITM Power plc (ITM) serves as a real-world textbook example of the "index effect" and its volatile aftermath.ITM Power was officially added to the MSCI United Kingdom Small Cap Index effective at the closing bell on Friday, 29 May 2026. Its stock price experienced a textbook two-phase reaction driven by institutional positioning.Phase 1: The Pre-Inclusion Rally Following MSCI’s announcement on 12 May 2026, hedge funds, event-driven arbitrageurs, and active trading desks heavily front-ran the stock. They accumulated shares to capitalise on the guaranteed liquidity event. This buying pressure pushed ITM Power shares up significantly, with the stock trading near 187p–200p by early June.Phase 2: The Post-Inclusion Reversal ("Sell the Fact")Once the inclusion became official on 29 May, tracker funds (such as BlackRock iShares and Vanguard) executed their mandatory, systematic buying of an estimated $25M–$30M of ITM shares.Immediately following this liquidity window, the share price sharply reversed:Arbitrage Unwinding: Hedge funds rapidly liquidated the long positions they had built up ahead of time, selling their shares directly into the passive indexing volume.Price Correction: This mechanical "buy the rumour, sell the fact" dynamic wiped out the short-term index premium. Over the first week of June 2026, ITM Power shares plummeted roughly 22% from their peak, closing down 10.85% at 147.9p on Friday, 5 June 2026.Summary of the ITM Power Rebalancing Effect Date / Phase market Event ITM Power Share Price Dynamic 12 May 2026MSCI Announcement triggers front-running by speculative traders.Late May 2026Pre-Inclusion Peak Stock rallies up to ~200p on heavy volume.29 May 2026 Effective Date passive ETFs legally buy; arbitrageurs systematically exit.Early June 2026Post-Inclusion Unwind stock drops ~22% to 147.9p as structural buying fades.Despite the drop, market commentators note that ITM Power's core business fundamentals remain active, heavily underscored by its fresh June 2026 strategic green hydrogen partnership with Protium Green Solutions

Todays news is very positive indeed for ITM, and would surely have resulted in a bigger share price rise than this. Is this being held back to allow Qube and Helikon time to cover their position? I can't help thinking that's the case.

The price usually fluctuates like that every day as the market closes. Nothing significant.

Keep the faith.

Negativity doesn't help anyone . GLA

Im well aware thanks. Your reply is the reason I never normally post on here. AIM is risky! What do you expect? Just wait for the Investor Meeting meanwhile calm down or sell.

Some people on here shouldn't be invested in the stock market. Just haven't got the temperament. Certainly not the AIM market.

Things go at a speed we can not control.

However very shortly we will hear about an Investors Meeting, I suggest those who are panicking should all attend.

Everything as far as I can decipher is still going according to previous company announcements- just not at the speed we would all like, and to be fair not at the speed we were led to believe it would. These things rarely do!

Keep calm and keep the faith until you have facts that's say otherwise. GLA
