Jim- the MMs who have level 3 trade programs on their PCs can see the 10 million trade orders pending, waiting to be filled so the MMs have the ability to countered the upward momentium the big buy orders would create, MMs can frontrun (Illegal trading) pending buy orders with shorting to protect their financial short positions and then pick and choose points on the chart to short again to try and make the buyer/buyers runout of money so they can take control but if the buyers have deep pockets and plan to push the stock price higher, the shorts would get spanked because buyers would trigger the stopout set by legal shorts to stop their losses. These are the market forces at work.. legal and illegal trading
