The Market Makers determine the share price and it is moved up and down to rob you of as much money as possible. For instance, a treeshake, the price plummets to trigger stoplosses and to scare the unwary into thinking there's a problem and selling. The price will go up if the MMs think there will be heavy buying, ie after an RNS, or there could be heavy buying for whatever reason in which case they will put the price up. If there's a sudden price rise first thing in the morning, I have found it impossible to sell and I think that electronic traders may be locked out until the price receeds, although I may well be wrong there. There are many other reasons for sp movement which I don't understand, but be rest assured, you are battling the MMs all the time.
