Looks like the pattern may have changed. It appeared to me as if it was only retail throwing in the towel for the last 20 minutes. Unlike the last several days, there was no heavy hitting of all bids right up to the close. Whowever was / is doing the shorting or liquidation was skillful enough to allow positive sentiment to creep back in each time, before wacking it down again.
Lets see how the bids / asks look tomorrow morning before the open.
I would hope that $0.50 was a downside limit for whomever.
Also hoping this afternoon brings an announcement of PP closure.
