Share price may not drop if nobody buy.

If I sold 1 million share and nobody buy it the share price will remain at X dollar. the same case apply if I try to buy 2 million share but nobody willing to sell.

if nobody buys, how can you sell?

the right term is if there are no bids

if there are no bids, the asking price stays the same... but people know the true value is probably less than the asking price

 

[vi edit]

I'd say it really depends on that particular stock and how liquid it's market was.

If there is a lack of buyers, won't the price of stock drecrease until there are more buyers?

only if the seller is desperate enough to keep lowering the ask price

this is more prevalent on low volume securities such as low volume bonds

On days when there are few buyers, the stock market always tends to drift slowly downwards.

The value of a stock is the highest buy order. A buy order is basically a request to buy stock at a certain price. If you want to sell your shares, you can sell to the person who placed the highest buy order, or you can make a sell order at a higher price, but if you do that they won't get sold until someone agrees to buy them at that price.
