3. Spike up today on lots of big blocks - clearing the way ahead of preset sell orders and possibly signalling the return of momentum players to ASND.

Sector,

I don't know about your other items, but I got the impression today that the spike was a test run for a 35 close at February options expiration, somewhat consistent with your observation.

Perhaps as grease for the above, there has been some non-news:
official ASND/ATT announcement (not), ML upgrade (not), takeover (not).

If we hover near 35 by mid-week next week, and some very positive news is then released, it certainly would be difficult to hold ASND to 35 at expiration (remember expiration about 2 months ago, when they had the stock right at 25 until the LU rumor popped in the last 2 hours of trading).
