I think you gus are playing a computerThe bids and asks are for the most part small (100 to 300) and the volume is relatively low and the gap is monstrous at times.
These are all contrary to true volatility.
These are all elements required to manipulate.
The computer is controlling the gap just like market makers on the OTC BB in the USA by eliminating a tight spread that could feed into a trend.
The higher the price rises on true momentum, the bigger the gap naturally forms as the stock tries to form a natural top and is the perfect storm for a computer to control the action on a low float.
It stretches the gap up and down in a controllable pattern that the computer can calculate average buy and sells to the volatility.
The huge gap allows the manipulation because it is human to resist dumping across the huge gap to take the loss and vice versa for jumping to ask.
The computer plays the momentum, dumping or buying until the bears or bulls are spent in either direction over the huge gap. Then it raises or lowers the bids into the gap to change the direction, and sucks in the players who stretch to the ask or bid with a little help from the computer and it goes both ways back and forth.
The huge spread makes it almost impossible for anyone (except who is behind the computer), who is trying to trade the validity because if you go for the ask or bid depending on the direction of your belief, at the huge spread cancels your chances of making a profitable trade where the bid will rise or drop and hold to the point point where you can sell for a profit. It is slim indeed :)
Just a thought, but sometimes when something makes no sense, the only logical conclusion no matter how outrageous can be a good guess.
Very few real winners here. :)
