A cynic might say this is typical of professionals traders on a junior . A test of strength after an up move shows itself as a mark down on low volume usually includes bad news . This helps to shake out the nervous , hits the stops helping the organizers pick up more shares at lower prices .

If the volume is low today you can think higher prices are not too far away . They do not mind selling 50 thous shares to take it down as long as at the end of the week they are able to buy back 200 thous at lower prices .
