Is This Why The Market Just Turned Green?
SSDD: Big dump at the open, then the usual low volume levitation higher as the BTFD algos engage. But why? While the economic news today was bad it wasn't so horrible to merit a new all time high in the "market", while geopolitical developments continue to deteriorate, however at the usual "better than expected" pace. So what might have been the reason for today's latest surge higher which just brought the "market" back into the green? This note from Dennis Gartman may well have been the catalyst.
We suspect that later today we’ll be reducing our long positions modestly and/or increasing our derivatives positions also, to take us very, very close to market neutral, and indeed we may find ourselves erring even ever-so-slightly negatively of shares if the conditions warrant. What we do know for certain is that neutrality shall beat bullishness for a day or two or three… or perhaps even more.
"Erring" and "know for certain" being the keywords of course. As for Gartman's clockwork, even the USDJPY manipulators are awestruck.

Joking aside, the reason for the move is the near vertical levitation in the AUDJPY cross since the start of today's POMO.

Monday malaise
Muppets are green. The market turns green. Coincidence?
Market had one of Momma Obama's school lunches...
Rut roe!
all of the markets r a fucking bad joke.
Hey Kaiser, did you play the Sousa when you were in the band?
I know a lot of bad jokes.
Some are downright offensive actually...
Why did the Ebola patient cross Wall Street?
He was stuck in the Loco Chicken.
Because the bankster had him by his cock?
He didn't want to be bothered at the orifice?
To cover for the CIA spook that was spraying it...
So John Kerry and an Ebola patient walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, why the long incubation period?
since I can't fine you $50 billion for that, I gave you a +1 in lieu of.
I just flew in from Nigeria, and boy are my arms tired...
Velly intersting...
But stupid!
All of these prognosticating idiots are a fucking joke, and that is the JOB of the people who run the markets...to keep you guessing. Their job is to make you believe that your logic/common sense/reasoning DOES NOT APPLY.
If you're a rational-thinking, logic-driven human being, then take whatever you think is the right thing to do, and DO the opposite - Bet against whatever makes the most sense,
The "Day of Reckoning" will come...but probably not for a long time. The status quo depends on your ignorance, and so far, they are winning.
Worked for George Constanza:

If you turn your head sideways and squint, he even looks like Stolper.
I'm sick of this shit.
Psst. Short the makers of Plumpy'nut. Their ‘clients’ won’t need the stuff for much longer.
I read this as saying he expected a bounce today (he got it), and if it continues he will sell more.
someone flipped another swtich at 1:05 pm.
Sorry Tylers. This one is on you. This post preceeded the low of the day by 8 min. It's been straight up the rest of the day.
Well that escalated quickly. Friday's micro (earnings-based) weakness has extended to today's macro weakness and removed any "ignore the geopolitics, just buy the dips"-exuberance. All US equity indices are once again below the levels pre-MH17 headlines with the Dow and Russell 2000 worst performers.

Commenting on what has happened impacts what will happen? Is that some variation of the Heisenberg principle?
As to what "would" happen, how about what was actually said:
... With the usual dose of sarcasm of course, as only Kevin Henry has any idea what happens in a centrally-planned market next.
Two out of three ain't bad (spin, direction and speed)?
You have to admit, though, your timing today was particularly impressive. Damned near to the MINUTE of the day's lows this morning.
I think algos are cueing off of any negative ZH market status articles. I'm not sure if I'm kidding about that, but I don't think I am.
I think that the trigger was going to be pulled one way or another, but whoever pulls the strings on the coordinated and systematic buying likely does use the "ZH-call" out of a sense of humor (or spite).
How about the algos just include keywords and select postings along with option trading and news blurbs and 1000 other metrics to dictate tunring points?
It can all factor in
And banksters probably have the inside scoop on NSA datamines, if they don't already own them
Well if that be the case... "fire in the hole, bitchez."
Yall look at economic calendars much???
False flags everywhere...
What a tool.
:)
Gartman must just hate you guys.
I used Gartman as a contra-market indicator and it works like a charm... In USD terms that is...
The burning smell of power (really garlic breath on a lying tongue).
You didn't produce that reversal, the algos parsed the Gartman text and did the opposite. It's enough to make some money off it.
You know, it has been over 5 years since I paid attention to market moves. I don't consider the stock exchanges to be markets in the former sense of price discovery mechanisms based on real market forces. We all know what has happened since 2008, governments and the central banks consider the markets to be nothing more than a tool to inject huge amounts of cash into the economy. Raise stock indexes as a way to stimulate the economy. Central Banks even speak openly of "Wealth Effect" stimulus. Especially the US Federal Reserve. Openly admit that juicing share prices is they purpose, that they consider this wealth effect as a means to spread economic growth. This is all BS of course. QE and stock index pumping just passes wealth to the increasingly small minority with large long positions and the big banks and trading houses who run skimming operations. It is no wonder New York and London Real Estate is in a world record bubble, the vast fiat wealth being pumped into the markets rewards the few in ways never seen before in human history. While zirp screws workers and savers and honest people saving for kids schooling or retirement. Only way to get a positive return, if that, is to go long stocks, and that helps juice the machine even more. Dumb money chasing some positive yield is going to get fucked over by the smart money and the skimmers. I bet anything that those who finally give in and go into the markets, the small retail investor or 401K workers is going to get screwed to the wall before they ever get that money out. I believe they are called "bad holders" for a reason!
... the message from Ukraine!
Where is the one from Gaza?
Empty bag holders.
Hey "Jack Burton", it ain't "smart money", it's CRIMINAL money!
by the way, like reading your post...keep 'em coming
... just watch as I stick my finger up my .. you know what, and one from the other hand up my nose ... I prommise I dont smell anything!
You shouldn't either, till 5 pm today! Tomorrow moring is a different story because I have to scrach both - now and then!
At least my russel short is still good.
I'm not familiar with that euphemism.
Can anyone explain to me why it's tracking AUD/JPY now and not USD/JPY?
It varies from day to day. Tylers are looking for correlation and those two currency pairs seem to show up on the radar more times than not.
by it with both hands and feet into turbo tuesday....
It also bailed out pension funds, which worked under an 8% return assumption. That was never going to happen organically.
Too big to fail and the only way to make them whole.
"The Merikan stawk market never drops,"my broker told me.
If I recall, didn't Gartman announce he was "long of crude @ 103? Seems to have ticked that short term top as well. Perhaps he will emerge shortly with a "neutral of oil" or "short of oil" pronouncement and crude will pop to 140.
Does he sell his newsletter as a reverse investment scheduler or simple comedy?
Chart is moving lower left to upper right..... Man, all that insight in one newsletter.
Denny and his bets, oh but their so spaced out.
Gartman, please stop speaking in fucking iambic pentameter!!
Regards,
Everyone
Central Banks covering their shorts?
To the three or 4 people who do not have a clue yet. The market is run by computers that are programmed to run various price patterns and then the media and talking heads are given scripts to read that attempt to explain the action to the genetically deficient.
every day there is at least a 10-12 handle rip higher in the S$P, every fucking day
its the day before tuesday. during the gogo 90s traders used to square up on friday, head out to the hamptons, it got so programmed into their behavior that some traders started buying the dip on friday to position for monday. thank goodness that stock market brought lasting wealth to all of america. boy i miss the 90s
Key technical levels, not the Tylers, was the reason for the bounce, along with a tiny bit of POMO, the SPY near the 20 DMA, but more importantly the Russell near key support on the daily chart, third time bouncing here since early June, today on very high volume. The fact that the RUT absolutely RACED to these levels from the open and hit them before 10:30, while the DOW hadn't reached triple digits, was your clue the machines would be comfortable bouncing modestly to find a middle ground before the FOMC. While a late-day move back toward the lows isn't out of the question, it looks like the machines have each others' backs for now ...
The market went green because every knows by now buying the dip is free money as the FED has told us this (free money) bull market will continue till at least 2015.
Gonna have to wait on the Argentinian 'Fuck You' and Banco Espirito contagion to make it past August.
The weather again will be the fashionable play.
(Edit: Hammer Brasil, as in BRics)
Here's why the market jus turned green
