I think you might be confusing 'manipulation' with 'weakness'.
After hitting 13.5cents this morning and then 11cents early this afternoon there seems to be plenty of support coming back in at 11.5cents (and below to 10cents). New buyers keep lining up for stock (or is it just the sellers re-entering at lower prices?).
I don't expect to see it hit 10cents any time this month - but stranger things have happened!
Looks to be plenty of 'stale buyers' looking to exit recently taken positions at 14 through to 20cents. This overhand is acting as a short-term SP barrier.
Fun and games...
