Someone put in a market order and it spiked the price which is unfortunate because they are down. Be careful with market orders in extended trading. Use limit orders. Even if you are buying and want to get in you can put a limit above the price so you only pay up to x price.
You have to watch out for sharks too, because sometimes people will put a limit sell way above the price to see if someone makes this mistake. It happens on either side.
Thanks for replying.
The price being so sideways and then the bounce, I thought a market order wouldn't spike but fulfill along the flat line.
Someone putting a high volume market order might make it move, but I don't have access to that kind of info.
I've been buying as my budget allows. I'm not interested in selling.
