So you have brokers accumulating while price is dropping, the buy side stacked forcing you to buy at the asking price if you have no patience. The bids are continually sold into by the bots, even as the brokers continue to accumulate, suggesting multiple accounts - same entity - trading between accounts. All of this, of course, difficult to prove as price manipulation, BUT, what happens in the closing price auction is a different kettle of fish. Here, we have just enough sells to cover the buys and drop the share price, often just by one share. You put in a bid at a higher price during the auction and watch, in real time, as the bots adjust, to once again cover the bids and drop the share price one pip. Clear price manipulation and a clear goal - accumulation. All the while, the ASX and ASIC sit idle.
All statements are my opinions only.
The only positive here is that accumulation suggests price will be higher one day in the future, probably aided by the same bots and tactics, as the brokers offload for healthy profits, as we all cheer
