Today''s Overall Buy/Sell Volume Data Suspecthowever here's some interesting data.
21 trades.
14 at 27 cents.
16 involving anonymous.
All trades from 10:02 on were filled at the same price: 27 cents.
The buy/sell volume over that period is available; 49,000 on the buy (filled at the ask) and only 6,500 on the ask (filled at the bid).
Sure appears to be price maintenance to me...and the largest seller, anonymous doesn't even need to work for it. Today's dollar volume wasn't even a significant $ burden on anonymous.
This pps strength in spite of fairly low volume appears to be signalling that we can all expect a lot more in pps appreciation as soon as certain events come to fruition.
