Not sure what you mean about "the prices were low" onepot.
If you look at the last heavy volume day (28m on 24 April) you'll notice the close was $44.90. Since then volumes have been particularly low.
This may suggest the bulk of the accumulation was done prior to 24 April & the rise from $45 to $50 was predominantly froth.
The options close day yesterday could also be significant in that if the 15.757m represents options, it would mean that someone demanded delivery of a very significant amount?
