Jerry, Market Making is not illegal. in fact, the Nasdaq requires all companies to disclose which houses are their market makers. On the venture, well that's why they call it the venture. I'm not suggesting that MMs are at play here, I don't think volumes are high enough to suggest that.

Stocks can surpass the bollinger bands for days both up and down but it rarely lasts more than a few trading days. Stock prices will always return to within the band range.
