Creatd, Inc. (OTCMKTS: CRTD) share value continues to drop after a brief recovery in mid-March. The firm’s stock is still not at the lowest point it has ever been, but it is not too far off at this point. The lowest that the shares have gone was $0.0457, which is the point they reached on October 11th, 2022. After that, in the final months of the previous year, the stock price shot up, reaching $1.6941 per share on November 18th.

The last time when the shares reached this height was in February 2022. However, back then, the price was rapidly spiraling down from a much higher point. Unfortunately for the company and its investors, after reaching $1.6941 in November, the share price crashed in a sharp correction, sinking to $0.50 by the end of November.

CRTD found a strong support at this level, which allowed it to bounce back up to $0.90, which is where the company encountered a strong resistance. It kept bouncing back and forth between these two levels throughout December 2022 and January 2023. However, as time passed, the fluctuations were becoming smaller, as the price seemingly started achieving greater stability. Looking back now, however, it becomes clear that the volatility may have decreased, but the overall trend became bearish somewhere in mid-January.

CRTD price was dropping again, and in the second half of February, it broke the support level at $0.50, sinking to $0.16 by February 27th. After briefly recovering in early March, the price went back up to $0.3, encountering a resistance here, as well, which pushed it back down to $0.1156 this time, which was on March 14th. In the last 48 hours, the price managed to recover a bit once more, sitting at $0.15 at the time of writing.

Creatd, Inc. (OTCMKTS: CRTD) stock has seen a rough performance over the last year, with only a brief period of recovery in November 2022. Other than that, the last 12 months were marked by nothing but price crashes triggered by various events that followed the company. In recent months — specifically in December — the company announced an upcoming merge with Global Tech Industries, albeit without disclosing the terms of the deal. After that, reports said that Global Tech Industries had decided to bid $100 million in stock in order to acquire Creatd. Creatd even halted any discussions with other potential acquirers for 30 days as part of the LOI. At the time, its CEO and Chairman, Jeremy Frommer, said:

There are two elements to this merger, fundamental and technical. The opportunity to advance the Creatd business model and scale revenues coupled with the unique technical position we find our two public companies in, is a momentous opportunity. At the time of closing of any proposed transaction, GTII share delivery to Creatd shareholders will only occur in instances of registered ownership with the transfer agent or DTC.

For a time, everything was going well for the company until February 24th, when reports emerged that Creatd had terminated the proposed acquisition discussions with Global Tech. This was what triggered the stock crash, as many were disappointed that the deal did not succeed.

Around that time, the company was also struggling with a potential illegal naked short selling, and it launched CEOBLOC to try and fight it. One positive development at the time was the fact that CRTD became available on Upstream, which marked the third issuer to dual-list their shares on Upstream’s blockchain-powered market.

However, the stock was hit with another blow a week ago when Creatd released an update regarding its legal dispute with The Lind Partners, LLC, and the company’s affiliates. The dispute concerns a convertible promissory note that amounts to $900,000.

According to Lind, Creatd breached certain representations and warranties in regard to the note. Lind demanded immediate repayment of the full amount, but Creatd instead decided to offer a number of alternatives. Lind refused to negotiate and Creatd filed a motion to dismiss. The company’s CEO said:

At this early stage, we are strictly trying to analyze data. There is more than enough evidence that there has been unusual trading in CRTD and it demands further investigation. To that end, we have asked legal counsel to look into filing multiple requests of trading records from market makers in CRTD stock. When and if the Company enters the discovery period in The Lind Partners, LLC case, any trading records related to The Lind Partners, LLC that were done with external broker dealers will also be analyzed.

Global Tech Industries Inc (OTCMKTS: GTII) has filed a lawsuit against Alpine Securities for spoofing. The lawsuit claims that multiple parties were selling a significant number of shares at artificially depressed prices, which is attributed to the illegal behavior of spoofing.

According to David Reichman, CEO of GTII, the lawsuit is a significant step in the company’s efforts to protect itself and its shareholders from market manipulation. The company is represented in the case by the Christian Levine Law Group and Warshaw Burstein, LLP, two law firms that specialize in stock fraud litigation.

The spoofing of shares refers to a fraudulent trading practice in which traders place buy or sell orders for a security, intending to cancel them before they are executed. This behavior creates a false impression of demand, causing the market price to move in a specific direction, which benefits the trader’s position. Spoofing is a violation of federal securities laws.

The lawsuit alleges that the financial firms named in the complaint engaged in illegal behavior that allowed them to manipulate the market and benefit from GTII’s artificially depressed share prices. GTII is seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief to prevent further market manipulation.

Wes Christian, managing partner of the Christian Levine Law Group, stated that the lawsuit is yet another example of illegal market manipulation by the defendants. He emphasized the law firm’s commitment to protecting shareholders and holding financial firms accountable for their illegal behavior.

The lawsuit is an important step for GTII in its ongoing efforts to protect its shareholders and business from illegal market activities. It remains to be seen how the lawsuit will unfold, but GTII is committed to pursuing legal action against those who engage in market manipulation that harms the company and its shareholders.

Alpine Securities is in significant trouble and cannot pay the $2 million fine imposed on them by the SEC. GTII has the highest concentrated short position in Alpine’s books, which is significant. GTII needs to fight against this illegal behavior, and a lawsuit is one of the ways to do so.

Taking a step back and understanding the entire Alpine situation as a whole, it is clear that they are in trouble. The current market conditions, where the fluidity of credit is not as strong, can significantly affect borrower rates. When borrowing rates go through the roof, as was the case with GTII, it does not make sense to short-sell. People had to cover, and the stock went nearly double all-time highs to $9.

GTII has many catalysts, and the first one will be Upstream, which will open multiple avenues to throw a curveball at short sellers with special coupons and dividends. The 1-800 Law Firm deal is another catalyst that GTII is excited about. GTII expects to receive $85 million in receivables on the books, which will improve GTII’s fundamentals exponentially. This improvement in fundamentals could make the current resistance level of $2 the new floor.

Restricted dividends are another way GTII can throw a curveball at short sellers. Clean Vision’s success with restricted dividends is an example that worked in the recent past. The proof is there that it can work and is worth trying. If it is another curveball that can throw off a short seller, that’s perfect. It can’t hurt to try, especially if it is restricted, which means it will not dilute the stock for six to 12 months.

GTII Daily Chart

MMTec, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTC) ended the day at $2.0700 with a gain of $0.5800 (+38.93%). The stock prices fluctuated between $1.4000 – $2.5299, with more than 2.98M shares exchanging hands.

So why did MTC surge today ?

The failure of Silicon Valley Bank led to a sell-off in equities and a shift to safe-haven assets, such as US Treasuries and gold. Markets have calmed down somewhat, and the worst of the equity sell-off seems to be over. However, the market anticipates that the markets will be somewhat uneasy until a better understanding of inflation is reached and what the Federal Reserve will do next week.

Despite most investors currently avoiding the banking sector, Wall Street sees potential opportunities, particularly in regional banks. The chaos in the market has created opportunities in the industry and several banking stocks are being punished just for being a banking stock. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank was due to its specialisation in venture-capital financing, which made it vulnerable to the higher interest rate regime of the past 12 months.

Therfore, today’s gains in MTC seems to be more a sympathy bounce considering the overall banking sector. Earlier in March, MMTEC, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTC) declared that it will relocate its operations from Beijing to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, effective March 6, 2023. The Company’s subsidiary, MM Future Technology Limited, which is a Hong Kong incorporated limited company, will assume all operations previously conducted by its subsidiary, Gujia (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. However, Gujia will continue to carry out specific technical research and development functions. Further, the Company, through its subsidiary HC Securities (HK) Limited, and other entities, will continue to invest its human resources in asset management and securities underwriting, and other related businesses, aiming to attract global funds to invest in the Chinese market and support China’s economic growth. The Company’s new operations headquarters is located at Room 2302, 23rd Floor, FWD Financial Center, 308 Des Voeux Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
