Something Breaks: ES, Carry Crosses Tumble
Out of the blue, ES just dropped a good 5 points. Yes, in the good old PCP (Pre-Central Planning) days, this was perfectly normal, but since now we have a whole army of millisecond, algorithmic robots and a whole floor at 33 Liberty dedicated exclusively to making sure things like this never happen, it is rather disturbing. And in tried and true (anti) correlation fashion, the USD/JPY are jumping against all carry crosses. As far as we know this was not predicated by any news: granted, export news out of Japan were horrendous (12.5% Y/Y drop), but those should have been mostly priced in. Having observed the overnight futures every day for the past two years, this kind of thing "just doesn't happen" any more, which is why we are eagerly searching for what may have been the catalyst. If we find one, we will promptly update. In the meantime remember: he who defects first, defects best.
ES upward channel now solidly broken:
One potential explanation is in the form of the following report from the WSJ that banks face potential liabilities of over $17 billion on fraudclosure, but we doubt it.
State attorneys general told the nation's five largest banks on Tuesday they face a potential liability of at least $17 billion in civil lawsuits if a settlement isn't reached to address improper foreclosure practices, according to people familiar with the matter. The figure doesn't cover additional billions of dollars in potential claims from federal agencies such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Justice Department. State and federal officials haven't proposed a specific comprehensive settlement figure, but Tuesday's discussions represented the first effort to formally quantify potential liability.
This is precisely as we predicted when we reported on the $5 billion counteroffer from the banks to the first suggested $20 billion AG settlement: "this is merely a counteroffer to the $20 billion
preliminary bid. Which means that the final number to put the entire
robosigning affair behind us will be about $10 billion give or take. And
banks can go back to doing what they do best: post 0 trading losses per
quarter, and other such infinite sigma events. " in other words, following the initial $20 billion bid, and the banks' $5 billion counteroffer, a settlement will be found in the middle. $17 billion sounds like a nice, solid 2nd round bid.
Another possible explanation is that the market is reacting to the tumble of Glencore shares in their HK debut:
Glencore shares were trading at HK$64.65 compared with the offer price of HK$66.53 each. Last week, Glencore raised $10 billion through a London and Hong Kong initial public offering, giving the Swiss commodities trader the firepower for acquisitions.
Glencore's London-listed shares were stuck under water on their first day on Tuesday, dashing hopes of a strong start after it set a mid-range flotation price for London's largest-ever offering.
We doubt this too: GETCO deals with such a puny distrubance in the farce with a few million channel stuffing ES bids (and offers) each and every morning.

No0b question: what does "ES" stand for?
E-Mini S&P 500 futures
Click below to see a visual graph of Bankster's dirty needs arranged according to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs: http://thesilvergoldhedge.blogspot.com/2011/05/banksters-dirty-hierarchy...
For example,

(futures on the S&P)
Futures contract for S&P 500
http://www.bostonwealth.net/mortiesclassroom/es-e-mini-sp-500/
It's a good question.
Some Futures Contracts are traded "mini" which is 1/5 the size (and cost) of a full Contract. A Full S&P Contract has quite a large Margin requirement...so Mini is accessable to more folks. ES is a very activly traded Futures ..the Volumns are in fact astounding in a normal trade day! ES is one of favored of Futures Day Traders because of the ability to both enter and exit a position in very short periods of time. This is the symbol of this particular Commodity contract..ES
Excellent description, Gh57.
Best description i've seen so far, Thanks.
Just a little shock and awe to show Bennie boy what will happen.
enjoy and trade accordingly !
should be fun.
I think this is something bigger set for the day. The market has been slow and wet and weak monday and tuesday. I think this means something HMMMMM
I subscribe to the guy from australia and his FFT economic newsletter at http://www.forecastfortomorrow.com that guy has called many big events before they have happend, including the stock market crash in 2008 and the current financial collapse of the US. (currently happening) I found him from a friend last year, and he has some important work.
His oil calls are insane, and I have been making good money with them. He is well worth a look, if you want to keep two steps ahead of the sheeple out there.
I am worried about my financial future. Is anyone else nervous out there?
Stop the spam, dickhead.
I have seen this SPAM so many times now. Fuck off, twat.
"Is anyone else nervous out there?"
Do they actually put that line in a handbook for you stupid fuckers? It sure seems like 5 or 6 hundred of you have used it.
JUNK.
Heard some news about someone buying about 40000 GLD Aug/Sept Calls the investment required was about 50 Million. Any idea who it might be.. and why bet on gold price rise in spite of rising USD... or is there somone with an expectation of USD falling sharply.. which would be in case the debt limit talks are not successful... just wondering...
The time of the FRN is over.. The time of Silverrrrrrr Bitchezzzzzzzz has come..
And this is why I love ZH. Thx all.
12:03 AM Stock index futures are steady at lower levels after a rapid 0.75% drop on rumors a snap election is to be called in Greece.
If you play someone else's game for 10 minutes and don't know who is the patsy, it's quite likely you.
Looks like another "oh my god the hell is breaking lose nothing important" moments.
Exactly... I think a better explanation is that the crazy college interns at 33 Liberty Street forgot to finish their work before they left the office. Gosh darn kids these days...
Raising capital to buy some of that sweet AIG offering tomorrow.
LULZ... anyone stupid enough to bail out the fed, take on their debt, and buy AIG deserves the fist fucking they are begging for. I thought it funny that money.cnn.com has a big expose on gambling, yet nothing about the dumb fucks who are going to shift their pension money into a nearly break even deal for the fed. I would THINK the American people would grow weary of bailing out wall street and it's beloved banks.
Tyler,
It was predicated by the closing of the AH session, and the fact that the S&P broke down today [or rather all but broke down today]. As for that second point, Carter Worth of Oppenheimer has publicly stated that this particular breakdown [1313], after three previous breakdowns [failure to make a new high, short term trend line, medium term trend line] was nothing but good news because of the powerful snap back rally this particular breakdown would produce.
And if you can understand what I just said, which is a summary of what Carter Worth said, then you are a very different person than I.
So...anyway...on to the Plunging and Screaming phase of this phony market then. Hi ho.
Ah yes, Carter "High Net" Worth, of 1313 Mockingbird lane.........
When was the last time he was right? "Pictures of Matchstick Men" now playing on TARGET TV commercial, all is weel, go back to sleep folks.
I love this cover.

It is funny how everyone including me gets either jittery or excited over small moves now.
There seems to be a good amount of fear and worry in the market. The talking heads cant even hide it on cnbc, except rick. I still dont understand why put call ratio doesnt confirm the fear i see in all of us, even mainstream people.
It just seems we cant go down far this soon. Most sheeple i know are still in cash and bonds. Even the zheeple are mostly out of stocks.
That is exactly why the criminal syndicate Wall Street bankers are nervous. Almost three years and $5 trillion dollars spent...and the largest rally in market history...and still, Average Joe does not give a shit about the stock market.
You answered your own query.
As for the put/call ratio, give it about 4.7 nanoseconds after the market opens below 1313...and then check your ratio again. 100% electronic.
It is banker panic that brings markets down.
[It is banker panic that brings markets down.]---Quinvarius
No. I expect the serious downward market action will come when banks start eating banks. TBTF vs TBTF.
TBTF becomes TBTR&H - Too Big To Run & Hide.
The hunters will eventually become the hunted.
Those will be fun days for sure.

Cdad, do you have an instant messaging account that you use (frequently or otherwise), there are questions I would like to ask that are not abusive or average run-of-the-mill troll?
One of the shortsight of the current ZH system (which I don't blame Tyler in much less the software underlying) or is there something that I don't know about, in some setting someplace that you can send private messages to other members?
Thanks.
Nope. You'll have to ask your question here. It's a brotherhood. I do not think arranging a private room is necessary.
Understood and respected. I am not in the same caliber that you, CD, Sheepdog, and others that I respect imminently, nor am I a trader by profession. However, I would like to understand some of your comments. You mentioned, ".. three previous breakdowns" in context this means the S&P, am I correct? If so are you referring to: 8/1/10, 6/1/10, 2/1/09 (on average) or is my charting software on the brink or am I missing the picture completely?
I take your comments in the context of '[failure to make a new high, short term trend line, medium term trend line] was nothing but good news'. Yet, but I look in the context of 2/1/09-> onwards on a news trend I don't see things (even with the delusion of the market that's it's "permi-good" out there) that overall things have contextually changed.
So knowing what you know -- and forgetting what I know -- beyond the manipulation in the market.. Why do we still see swings to the downside which are expected, yet every day at 11-3pm EST the market always closes in the green?
Wow. Nevermind. Beyond PTT and the obvious I think I just answered my own question.
Wow.
Thanks totally to the obvious anyhow. I'm sure I'm gonna get flamed.
My comments about technical break points came from Cater Worth last night on Fast Money over at the BlowHorn [CNBC]. Failure to make a new S&P high was the first break, and the other two were trend lines that C. Worth drew...each of which was violated. He then went on to suggest that the fourth break would be the jackpot! Uh huh.
As for why the market always snaps back: POMO. And more to the point, the criminal syndicate Wall Street bankers have been training folk for months now to be good lil' dip buyers...which is exactly what the criminal syndicate needs now that POMO is ending...you see.
Anyway, I think you got it all figured out.
.."As for why the market always snaps back: POMO. And more to the point, the criminal syndicate Wall Street bankers have been training folk for months now to be good lil' dip buyers...which is exactly what the criminal syndicate needs now that POMO is ending...you see."
Mmmhm.
Thank you for leading me down the trail. Wow. I have some reading to do..
The old "triple top" can be a powerful signal.
If you try three times to break through an area but fail, all of the traders on the side that was trying to 'break through' can capitulate and even reverse their positions culminating in a change of market direction.
In simpler terms, three strikes and you're out.
Yup... Often even in the shortest of time scales (ticks), it can be said that there's no such thing as a triple top, or bottom.
Still dropping...off 6.5 now.
Maybe Panetta said, "EKIA"
technical break of important support. It's a technical move.
Some kind of modified flash crash?
Perhaps someone is beta testing their newest flash crash modification to their HFT algo just in time to remind the state AGs that the 5 in 5 billion means 5 not 17.
Its a FLUSHOUT, bang the stops, shut the front door, back the truck up, if it was really The End, don't you think "they" would need the MOST bagholders? Why flush? Get Giddy widit.
It could have something to do with a broken trendline from Aug '10 being broken. Over the last two years most down moves were made to look impulsive and decisive, being sharp aggressive shock and awe affairs that were then aggressively bought...May 6 being the best example. This latest down move looks like a corrective bull flag, maybe to lure some bagholders in before the maelstrom.
Yes Charter Worth's line in the sand as stated on CNBC was 1313 on the S&P and that the market would bounce from there as he stated on fast money. Charter has been wrong more times than he has been right.
his name is "Carter" for christ sake. Only a few worse names...Todd for example.

Who is selling after hours? Look at RobotTrader's view of The Glorious S&P 500 in foreign currencies http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/candleglance.html?$spx:FXE,$spx:FXY,$spx:FXC,$spx:FXS,$spx:FXA,$spx:FXM,$spx:FXB,$spx:FXF|D
1310.50 started a stop run. There was some bearish movement in eur, usd, aud and jpy prior to /ES dumping and the sharp and sudden aud/jpy move coincided with the move down in /ES.
While it may have been news based, it looks to me like a shitload of stops stacked up under 1310.50.
bet it's 'cause of this:

Maybe Asians actually realize how bad our economy is and that the ecb and fed can't hold us together any longer so they have decided to sell and since they are the only ones with real net worth, what they do matters? We don't think our shit smells but the rest of the world has noses? Or it's radiation :)
Funny, its the Asian markets that seem to make sense to me. Its the US markets, reversing the Asian market that never makes sense unless you assume its the banksters pulling their tricks to keep the Ponzi going.
Let's just look at the obvious... Every major market is down or treadin' water for the year, 'cept the mighty US of A, up @6%.
We don't lead this world economy... We trail it. Anyone who thinks otherwise has bloodline to Bob Pisani.
It's Bush's fault.
That's the new excuse until 2012.
Meanwhile, watch the EU/JPY cross trade; getting close to a complete technical breakdown into sub 110 terrirtory again. If it breaks hard, 100 is in play.
Bernanke needs an excuse (like a 20% stock market selloff) before he can justify QE-3 in fall or winter (he will not admit they are monetizing the debt).
Also, Geithner/Bernanke will need someone to buy treasuries after June (after QE-2) and before QE-3.
They will sacrifice the stock market (tolerate the selloff) to save the treasury market (people will panic, sell stocks and buy treasuries -- exactly what Geithner/Bernanke will need).
That makes sense, given the premise. (And aren't they starting to have a bit of trouble selling Treasuries even now?)
What ever happened to Nic Lenior updates?? He seemed to get a lot right during the sell off and rebound last summer, I'd like to hear where he sees the ES going.

Looks like the NSA tracker algo is out of whack again. Lots of double posts and for this one the second post is from earlier than the first.
Simple - on the currency futures re-open, the DX (US$) popped 20 points and the 6e (Euro futures) dropped like a rock under its late afternoon support of 1.4076.
Forex/equity algos have been leading the US stock market around like a dominatrix...BALL GAG and whip included.
No doubt, the futures crash which is occuring right now is bound to send more retail stocks up to 52-week highs again. Like DSW, up 17% today.
Or perhaps some auto parts retailers like AZO, up another 6%, now at another record high.

RobotTrader,
You are clearly the most obnoxious person posting on this forum.
Tyler,
What kind of blackmail goods does this jerkhole have on you to make you to allow him to spew this kind of bullshit each and every day?
Is it something that you would not be comfortable telling your mother?
Why, Tyler, Why?
I like to think of Robo as the bizarro-Santelli of the Zerohedge universe.

Japan in a.trade deficit will not be buying our treasury bonds.
No one [save for the Fed] is buying any appreciable treasury bonds...at least not in any long term sense. I think it is a given that Bill Gross will do just fine.

I'm vexed.
As ES tanked, ZB, ZN and ZF all reversed from a minor dip and are now all green.
If equities really do tank (finally) over say, the next month or so, then Bill Gross will get spanked.....even more than he's already been spanked over the last two months.
Agreed, but if japan drops out of buying treasurys and our economy starts to accelerate or inflation picks up we may see the opposite.
Yup, I fully expect Treasuries to sell off.....but after QE3 gets pre-announced.
Re Japan, the slow-motion trainwreck in the JGB market could actually be bullish for US Treasuries.

maybe Greece defaulted and the insiders are frontrunning!
frontrunning the Fed et al.
FT Deutschland reports that Trichet told finance ministers on Monday night that the ECB would respond to a re-profiling by refusing to buy any new Greek debt instruments. Furthermore, the ECB would refuse to supply the Greek banking system with any further liquidity. This means that the ECB will effectively boycott Juncker’s silly plan. That, in turn, would force Greece to quit the eurozone within days.
We are closer to a Greece leaving eurozone announcement much sooner than the market expects.
FT Deutschland might report that Trichet said that but translating to English from Centralbankese, what he said was: "If something dramatic happens we will hit the offer".
I do not know, maybe Trichet is bluffing, but I know that when there's smoke, there's fire.
BTW, Der Spiegel continues to stand firm behind the accuracy of its article (Re: Greece is contemplating leaving the Eurozone) and the credibility of its German government source.
"We are closer to a Greece leaving eurozone announcement much sooner than the market expects."

I know I probably will get slammed for this but I can not seem to figure out this acronym BTFD. Is it Button The Fuck Down, Bite The Fucking Dust, Bring The Fuckers Down, Buy The Fucking Dollar. Please forgive the noob question. Thanks for legitimate replies :)
Buy The Fucking Dollar! Ha that's a gooder!
Buy The Fucking Dip. Refers to a cartoon a few months ago about buying silver.
Hi Sedaeng. It depends sometimes on the context and sense of humor of the poster, heheheh. But for the most part it's used to mean "Buy the F**king Dip" (get in on the price drops, especially in the precious metals).
(Oh, and I liked Bite the Fucking Dust myself!)
Around here if it isn't about metals it's often sarcastic.
Just STFU and BTFD.
Altough I think BTFD is dead.

MELTDOWN BITCHEZ!
Could be the first flinch/blink in the staring contest between institutions realizing with no fed support he who exits last may not get the p/l they've been holding onto thus far. The breaking down of correlation with PM's and risk assets will be interesting to watch as it may seem with no perceived fed intervention (for now) the market may 'normalize'.
30-yr. bonds are up like 30 days out of the last 38 trading days.
A stellar, uninterrupted boner run off the "Bill Gross" lows.
And people are worried about a "debt ceiling??""
LOL...
The SPY is about 5% off its highs.
If the SPY declines 20%, the 10-yr. yield will be back down to 2% on another bond "superspike".
Bill Gross will probably be run out of Newport Beach and will be unable to finish his new home on "Drawbridge Island".
You are right, but that is an extremely big if to see a 20 percent drop in spy.
That has NEVER ocurred with fed easing.....and we are still ultra easy at the fed with virtually zero nominal rates.
Not so fast. It is possible the bond speculators want to see just how 'easy' Ben 'bubbles' Bernanke can get. How 'low' can he go?
But the printing (QE3) stops in a few weeks.
Look what happened last year.....after QE ended: the S&P "dipped" almost 20% until Ben whipped out QE2 and prevented further damage.
Meanwhile, the 10-year fell from 4.0% in the spring to 2.35% in October.
Marc Faber- who predicts run-away inflation and WWIII within the next 5-8 years- said in December 2010 that bonds would rally and PMs (like silver) would correct 15-20%.
Total Collapse is still coming!

Well, Tyler's report on the banks mess with the foreclosures explains it.
Looks like the deadbeat McBox squatters will be able to live "rent free" indefinitely.
In fact, as the local news reported over the weekend, some foreclosed homeowners are actually moving back into their McStucco boxes out here in California!!!
No wonder these retail stocks are on fire and are impervious to:
- Currency and metals gyrations
- PIIGS upheavals
- "Risk On/Risk Off" Algo/Igor/Robo trading

wrong! junk
I have been reading ZH longer than you (little over two years now)...
Not that it matters, just tell me where I am incorrect... you think interest rates will stay in 'negative real' territory while inflation explodes to the upside?
The FED is backed into the corner. They have chosen INFLATION. They won't do QE 3 right away, just like they held back on QE 2. but it will come soon after.
You will soon see 14% inflation in America. The FED criminal number will be 2.4- 2.9%, but real inflation will be well into double-digits. It will be during this time foreign countries offically begin dumping dollars...
... then interest rates SPIKE! the FED is the only one left.
Congress won't let people die... QE 18 (just like Marc Faber + Jimmy Rogers have pointed out).

ha
I have been called Blythe since I was in junior high. This was due to the fact I listened to heavy metal and hardcore punk during my latter adolscene all the way through my teens till today.
By the time I got to high school I was actively involved and even touring with indy metal artists in the underground scene as a promoter and merch girl. I still do this today. SOme of the artists are major acts, a few of you might even recognize.
I am going into my Junior year officially but only because I am involved in a work/study program... due to the fact I travel about 7 months out of the year.
I have been accumulating precious metals ever since I started reading ZH and still haven't sold any.
I turn 21 in July but, seriously, When did age matter on this site?

Your picture and the persona you have tried to develop are like a CIA honeypot. You lure the men with your beauty and innocence and then call for revolution.

So I conclude with the same, Good luck sir in all your current and future endeavors.

Sure goldbug. Whats with the ad-hominen BS, don't you call for revolution against the United States Government? That would be treason. Your fake, just admit it.

I think you missed there. She's not fake. She's young and freaks out more than most people and hasn't had enough experience to see as much as other people. But she's not a troll.

Shows how good she is, she suckered you with her BS too. She is playing the innocence card and then says let crack open some fuckin heads. She is bait for the revolutionary violent types, she or he probably works for the dept of homeland security. I know it is probably unamerican of me to call out a fellow patriot but they can go troll elsewhere.

The answer to 1984 is 1776
Treason? Hardly. I just happen to believe in what this country stood for on day 1. We have since turned a 180. I simply wish to restore the republic back to its orginal intent. i.e. No overseas military empire, no Federal Reserve, no Income Tax, full civil liberties, etc.
Goodnight, regards

No income tax is Treason. Look I know you are a true patriot, I am just calling out your bullshit. Your going to have start over from scratch here to stir the pot and coax out the violent.
As your quote says, disolve the political bands, doesn't mean fuckin revolution it means through political means.

Again, you are very niave if you think we are not going to try to maintian our Empire, who the fuck would defend us against China, Russia and the Muslim Extremists. Didn't you hear your boss' comments (Panetta) the other day? We must do eveything possible to maintain our world power/military position. Good luck with an almost college junior calling for the end to our over seas military empire.
holy shit! u really are in the running for sock-puppet-of-the-year prize. what kind of dip-shit waste of space for gratification of yer pissy little ego is that? are you really that obsessed with BB? good thing we're not in public - you'd be stalkin' her
You don't fuckin get it do you. Zero has been flooded with Trolls, BB calls for revolution and violence to attract nit wits like you to be added to the list for follow up, either that or you fuckers (astro turfers, sock puppets, etc) are out in force tonight defending one of your own. I respect that as I too am a Patriot but lets face it she or he or it failed. Time to start over.
Your troll calling cred is falling faster that the ES.
Suck it, douchebag.
That is the best you got?
Well I said it all, didn't I? It's not you, its the trolls and "the rest of us" that are wrong. Lemme know if you want more. I'll be more than happy to oblige.
What did you say? You support violence against the united states? I call the trolls as I see them. I not against them, as I don't support violence for change. I understand that most trolls are a patriots that work for the dept of homeland security and are just gathering intel on timothy mcvey types here on the the fringe ZH. If you don't have anything to refute what I say why call names, why not just state some facts to discuss?
I'm pretty sure that if they were alive today, Ben Franklin, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, etc, would disagree with you.
