Business as usual....
Stock's preparing for the div within the st-downtrend (signaled by the 'spinning-top" on Mar 31 - read old posts). Some (active) shorts have to be closed, others (not closed) need to push much below the size of (partial) "div yield" to maximize returns. Some strategies just assume to get out before the div, others suppose to get in (and/or short/long switch) as lower as possible to maximize the "div yield" --> "optimizing" returns (and bonuses --> read old posts). There are still other objectives ... that all together create (almost) "risk-free" (dominant) trading st-strategy.
Another point is (relatively) well known timing for the extra "high div" (cap. transfer), imposing (almost) risk-free strategies for longer horizons.
