- Bullish; they are happy to buy the stock from panicking sellers because they expect higher prices.
- Indecisive; the high volume shows they are unsure of the fair value.
- Neutral; the news is merely being processed by the auction mechanism.
- Bearish; they are marking the price down to facilitate their own short-selling campaign.
