But the very trade (micro trade) at that moment is what set the price. It didn't magically choose 0.49c via osmosis.

There are numerous attempts to 'ladder' the price down, and not always at the end of the day. I do love seeing them, though. Because they manage to dip the price for a second (easy on a low volume stock) which then just triggers a buying wave. So an obvious attempt to drop the price just ends up being a bargain for people waiting on the side.

She bounces straight back up, and the galah who posted the trades loses ~8% in a single second. Albeit in a tiny trade.

I think there's many who would be salty they sold out in the 20c/30c range.
