Good observation Mooseslayer! I have conducted my own series of tests this week with other juniors and the same result has occurred in each case. As soon as the asks are taken out, new and larger asks immediately appear out of nowhere to quell the buying momentum. Almost every junior is being watched extremely closely by an entity(s) to ensure that they do not move up, at least for now anyway. As long as they have the NY cartel simultaneously suppressing metal prices, just like today, then their job at corralling the juniors becomes that much easier.

All the best - VHF
