That is one possibility.

Another one is that for the first time Crystallex has completed their pitch and is truly waiting a formal response. And anyone that has been waiting understands that it truly can be any day. Supporting facts is the verifiable recent activity of the government over the last 2 weeks. Of course, the response from the government can be yes, no, or maybe but that doubt helps the current share price. Before we knew that Crystallex had not formally responded, therefore, to expect the permit was not realistic.

Another possibility is just someone that wants some shares and doesn't want to bother taking a long time to get them.

The normal wait and see.
