The gap would assuredly close if the ask for 640K shares were to be filled. It is too big a gap presently.
However in my much less than exper opinion, it does not matter much becuase those (or that individual) selling $5 dollars of stock into the bid ((an losing money in the transaction)) seem intent on holding price down till they are ready to strike on a run up (I'm guessing here). I just wish they would share their exact thinking and plans/strategy but that is not gonna happen.
