The Manipulation going on with
$BLZE :
Dark Pool Dominance - The Hidden Accumulation
The FINRA (D) dark pool handles 40.7% of total volume (257,200 shares) versus NASDAQ's 34.6%, with 35 blocks exceeding 1,000 shares compared to just 4 on NASDAQ. The largest single trade was 22,383 shares @
$4.48 on FINRA - this is how they move massive volume without triggering retail algos.
Why dark pools? Because they're intentionally opaque. Institutions can execute 50,000+ share accumulation without showing up on public order books, preventing retail stop-loss triggering and algorithmic counter-trading. 37 documented instances of price spikes followed immediately by
institutional selling that reverses the move. The largest example: a 1.304% spike to
$4.66 followed by 6,000 shares dumped at
$4.46 - that's a
$0.20 reversal in 2 trades.
343 price levels with 5+ trades executed in the same second. The most extreme: 99 trades @
$4.40 in one second, followed by 71 trades @
$4.47, then 56 trades @
$4.36.
