S&P Spikes On Massive Volume As Russia Denies "Ultimatum"
While the news actually broke earlier, once the headline that Russia denies an "ultimatum" threat to assault the Ukrainian fleet hit Reuters, the algos smashed USDJPY higher and that lifted stocks on a huge volume spike ($3.7bn notional in first minute) up to near VWAP.
Reuters:
- RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FLEET SAYS IT HAS NO PLANS TO LAUNCH ASSAULT ON UKRAINIAN MILITARY UNITS IN CRIMEA - INTERFAX NEWS AGENCY
Bloomberg:
- *RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY SAID TO DENY UKRAINE ULTIMATUM
Interestingly, no follow-through and not even enough juice to hit VWAP... despite USDJPY's best efforts to get S&P futures back to that balance point...

POOTY-POOT - TO THE RESCUE!!!
if putin came out as gay right now....would all be forgiven?
Holy smoke, the market is truely driven moment to moment by headlines.
Do they have language parsers? Geopolotical risk? What all goes into the models?
Trippy...

I am getting out of the market now, other than non-ETF miners. These stock valuations may not be seen again for many years. Even if they wanted to, the Fed can't print the market higher if global politcal turmoil favors a flight to safety into bonds and then commodities (and ultimately, PM)
Market turned at some key intraday technical levels, amusing, always makes me think they are timing and trading their own headlines, and so are other large parties to these kinds of things, and other items in the policy newsflow...what makes the world go 'round..
he would also have to reveal his mother is really jewish but he will never be forgiven until he shows he is capable of stealing from the poor without remorse, god's work.
Well he is heavily invested in his new MyRA account. So we have that going for us......
Sequence of events:
1) Create seamingly non-transparent conflict between major world powers
2) Initiate extreme currency volatility
3) Begin international Currency control 'stabiliity' process using the conflict and volatility as an excuse.
4) Lock down Currency transactions 'temporarily'
5) Hit the monetary reset button using the dislocated markets as an excuse.
6) Convey international world leaders to some big meeting somewhere to figure out this 'pressing world monetary issue' (all while the solution has already been prepared and is ready to implement).
7) While markets are 'suspended' due to extreme volatility, offer US citizens the chance to transfer all holdings into their MyRA accounts, which will be denominated in US Treasuries of course. (it's really a bail in)
8) Implement world wide currency control based on a central monetary valuation scheme.
9) Hope people don't notice that their US Dollar holdings have just been devalued by 70%.
Of course all of this will be done in the background while the world is in utter termoil. MSM focussing on images of unrest and upheaval world wide. Everyone will be begging for stability and security.
And it will be provided. But at a small cost.
(your liberty)
Watch the other hand.
gunga, gunga galunga....gunga lagunga...
ie: You'll know we've made an ultimatum when we start shooting.
I don't think we'll be able to tell the difference from the info. and disinfo. coming from the MSM outlets until the bullets really start flying.
algo fever
I wonder who got to front run that one?
Not the most inpressive of spikes I've seen. Sure didn't have any legs to continue on.
I think this did it:
"According to Reuters, the White House has said it will no longer send a presidential delegation to the Paralympic Games in Sochi in protest at the situation in Ukraine."
Putin rescinded the ultimatum.
Tough Talk! Love it!
BITCOIN UP 10% ON THE DAY, HOLLER
Scoop them up with both hands, brother! What's stopping you?
What's stopping you?
the airless vaccum makes them hard to hold
Been scooping for a while, make that 15% today
Going all in, but still have chips to play. I think.
So, who fires the first shot?
Speaking of shooting. Gun Porn: .50 Bullpup http://www.tacticalimports.ca/gm6-lynx-p-3.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBntnnCFvOk#t=97
Thanks again Krisp for the Hitler/Bitcoin video. A ZH classic!

Fuku to the left, Pooty to the right, all-in could be a good call.
you know the SHTF when troops start movin' around.
ouch dat hurt..... whipsawed...... Algo's one moron nothing.....
i understand why we buy here, a true game changer!
At least Soros got his short position now, nevermind the ROW.
Any bets on getting green by the end of the day on one of the indices? This is unreal.... Emerging Markets down less than the DAX, Barrick up half the rise in gold.....
Sure feels like its going to go vertical...
Hello...Mr. Pooty-Poots? Can you deny your U-Cranial invasion so that our sinking S&P 500 can get a bit of a boost? We still have so many more muppets to fleece and your invasion is messing things up for us so early in the week.
Thanks much...
P.S. Oh, and can you send us some smokin' hot Ukrainian refugee women too, please? The banksters are so depressed these days with all the "suicides" and all, and they need some new hookers to spend their record bonuses on. Win-Win for both sides, right!??
Thanks again...
observe once again the London open and close...coincidence????? not.

S&P are already overvalued by 25-30 % so this doesn't get real till the Russian cut of the gas. That would do wonders for the grand recovery the EU is experiencing, and let's not forget how well the US economy is doing too. With the price of gas where it is now can you imagine where gas and oil prices would be if the economy was driven by fundemantals rather than every central bank (even though there is really only one) printing confetti.
oh wait, Russia withdraws. everything is fine. global economy is back on track and growing.
the global economy is an abortion on toast.
but that cunt Yellen keeps printing to make this fucking shit show go higher
fine Janet - keep printing - fuck the planet all you want - so what do you get after the planet is fucked over????
Is it just me, or are these "sell off"/"gold up" days massively unimpressive?
Europe closed down over 2%
The sell off in the US is a fucking kiddy party.
Massively unimpressive? Shit show, gong show, fuck shot, dogshit - any of these labels also work.
usd/jpy 34 ish pips down from former range support then 36 pip move back up and a bit of congestion. as I often say to the wife - if you put your face closer it looks more impressive
As long as the smash the VIX Program is Operational the only thing impressive is the level of corruption and determination for green at all cost.
The S&P is one strange looking chart today. The vertical spike and the subsequent flatness for the next 45 minutes cannot possibly be the result of humans transacting with one another. There is no verisimilitude of organic action in that chart, no thinking, no life. How nauseatingly empty this surreal reality has become, how threadbare, how tiresome.
Above VWAP now. NYMO says no sell signal today.
not spiking now! HVU is actually 26% over the trend-price vs SPY as well.
hvu1/11 x spy = 219 for the trend but 223.7 is what's popping out now.
shortcut: (223.7/219)11 is the factor it's overperforming by.
Someone should go check on UVXY http://scharts.co/1coEZIM as well. I don't have a properly tested equation for it just yet.
Same for VXX http://scharts.co/1cxFIBZ. I did an equation but it's out of date so I'll go with "don't have one" (for now)
