Victor, FWIW, the same action today as for awhile. A lot of big blocks selling. I covered my intraday short at 16 1/2, but missed the ride up. I speculate (but can't be sure), that a lot of the buying on the way up from 16 1/2 was short covering. If there is a big seller(s), they often let up at the end of the day, to let the price recover a bit (otherwise it is too depressing when folks come home and look at their portfolio)... obviously the seller wants to get as good a price as possible, so he is trying not to break the stock... got to let it come up a bit, so he can unload again. When it hit 17, INCA (which is used mostly by institutions) came in with a huge 85K sell order, and it was stuck there. The load eventually got down to 68K, but couldn't break through $17.

Bottom line, it looks as if institutional selling has continued. What this means for the future, I don't know. I take it day by day.
