Although a little curious as to why they cap sold @ 0.33 initially and then re-buying higher, I'm more intrigued to see Instinet having a piece of the pie in this holding and trading with decent volume the past few weeks.
They are quite selective for their customers and run through trading algo's. So charting
shockingly does play pivotal role for entry points for those wanting to top up/get in especially when we've been trading between the range of 0.28 - 0.41 the past 2 months.
