Another quiet day. ITV hasn’t joined in any of the FTSE retaking 7000 euphoria. Traded between 119.78p and 124.5p & closed between 121.8p and 123.55p on everyday between the1st & 16th April 2021

FTSE broken 7000 this morning. 8000 next - why not?

Handbrake released - lit up on L3 Volume spiked on AT trades!

It could be someone is trying to accumulate but given incredibly low volumes that's unlikely. Also if accumulating they would be lifting the price a bit to attracted tired sellers. But price certainly being controlled for something. I would be happier if they allowed it to rise to closer to the 126p. Certainly lasting longer than I expected but will have to wait it out! Can't even trade it as no liquidity! Plus possible bid? Thankfully other sector recovery stocks doing better eg. WPP. Even BT up today!

With the FTSE100 back above 7,000 and ITV still down at 121p. For what other reason can there be other than controlling the share price for a bid?

L2/3 as yesterday and days before at 126P FTSE up & ITV flat again! Frustrating

GS started shorting ITV from July 2016 (see charts) and Marshall Wace jumped on to their coat tails. It all came to halt in January 2021 as you say, January 25th to be precise and GS handed back to Liberty their ITV holding. The numbers are vague as per all those RNS's but in August of last year GS had declared a 21% interest in ITV through various investment vehicles but again all vague and now nothing, or so we are all led to believe !

What happened? It all came to a halt in the New Year 2021

[ivanborsky] 15/4/2021 18:52

Just for comparison, here's the volume figures for ITV last year for the same week :- 14/04 - 34m, 15/04 - 23m, 16/04 - 20m, 17/04 - 40m. Could we see some major volume tomorrow ?

[hades1] 15/4/2021 17:02

Low Liquidity during day

[ivanborsky] 15/4/2021 16:53

Yep, the same as the rest of the week so far, the U/T larger than the total daily volume !

[hades1] 15/4/2021 16:50

Incidentally L3 includes all exchanges not just LSE

[hades1] 15/4/2021 16:47

Buyer in closing auction

[marksp2011] 15/4/2021 13:39

Guys This is basic stuff :( Did you really think someone was entering 60 trades for 200 shares all executing in the same 100th of a second? nearly all the trades are automated Volume is so thin, you put the orders on to execute in the closing auction as that is the only time there is any liquidity If there were any large trades happening, they would be in a dark pool not on the LSE.

Many thanks for the info hades1. It figures, I now have a better understanding of it. I just checked out the trades in another couple of shares in my portfolio and it is the same.

[hades1] 15/4/2021 12:37

Essentially its automated and run by programs. The programs try to manipulate the book to achieve the price/quantity objectives.

[bobdiamond1] 15/4/2021 12:22

hades1..You are obviously more knowledgeable than most, can you enlighten me as to why there would be any point in buying or selling 1 or 2 single shares in a company. Why and what are the tiny transactions in aid of, who trades in these tiny numbers and why is such a trade registered, seems a pointless exercise.

If you have access to DMA there is no additional costs to trading 1000x 1 share trades or 1x1000 share trade.All done by bots.Institutions/ hedge funds/top brokers etc all have direct access to DMA.So do I via broker.So much trading is misattributed to MMs.
