One broker has 7 times the sell volume over the last 2 weeks - and they are dumping their shares at a loss (Buy VWAP is higher than the Sell VWAP). So here is the speculation to make sense of what's going on:
a) "Anonymous" is fed up with CUS and dumping at whatever price in an orderly daily sell over the last 2 weeks.
b) "Anonymous" is intentionally driving the price down at a loss to - perhaps in an effort to make a takeover bid for CUS as a multiple of the closing price.
Now THAT's a nutty theory (and i'm going to wash my mouth with bleach having uttered it since i've lowered myself to Kherson's standard).
Kidding aside - there appears to be nothing systemically wrong with this stock. If there was a broad based selloff - i'd be more concerned - which doesn't seem to be the case - so the chart below is useful.
That said, this is a spring coil at this price - someone has been pushing this stock down and when they stop shorting - it's likely this will recoil violently on the upside.
