RE:Large volume?First thing on open; 54.3k + 8.2k = 62.5k shares purchased
Other large buys include the following: 5.2k, 11.7k, 16.2k, 11.2k
Given the total volume of the day as you mentioned, I hope this makes my point...
So yes - not massive volume. I suppose a better way to be say it is that there is large relative volume on the purchasing side, selling volume is relatively minimal to say the least.
Simply put, price manipulation pushing price down in spite of the bulk of the actual trading volume today being buying pressure. The same has occured in the last few trading days as well.
