I also believe there is a psychological support that is found around round # targets, especially multiples of 10. Once $10 is breached to the downside, a very important important barrier will be removed. FWIW there have also been 7 more insider transactions this month, mostly form 4 buys and option conversion/sells.
Continued weakness in the market, and specifically the COMPX, could lead to further selling here as well. |
