I want to address something that sometimes newer or inexperienced traders miss. Just because a stock price is fluctuating doesnt mean it is moving. It is very important that you pay attention to the amount of stock being bought or sold. A purchase of 50 shares moves the price just the same as a purchase of 5000 shares.
When a stock moves up or down on very small purchases or sells, it is mostly likely a person or promotion trying to "paint" the chart to fill in gaps and make it look solid.
Most of your trading platforms have detailed quotes that will include buy and sell amounts even if they are 15 or 20 minute delays. You can also pay attention to the bid and ask share amounts in your trading platforms to see whats on deck.
Remember the predator promoters think we are stupid and wont notice a buy or sell of a stock at a meager 5 or 10 dollars and we will look at only the price change. As always dig deeper and dont give in to the hype they will create.
