Stocks Go Vertical (Again), Just Because

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In a desperate attempt to keep AAPL above $100 again, US equity markets are deja-vu-ing yesterday afternoon's sudden (and newsless) vertical ramp to run stops this morning. As Rule 575 hits, it appears the new algo plan is just run stops wherever they may hide, because nothing says buying-panic (and selling VIX panic) like the uncertainty of a Fed meeting, Scottish vote, and Alibaba disruptions...

Ramp!

 

Driven by VIX selling (to some extent)

 

Playing catch up to AUDJPY...

 

as "most shorted" stocks are squeezed once again...

 

It appears the goal was to run to Friday's closing VWAP...

 

Sending the S&P to run the stops from yesterday's highs...

 

AAPL $100 saved...

This does have a whiff of desperation to it, does it not?

This isn't the same as the 3:30 ramp.  This is something different.

Tylers- you have your next investigative adventure.  Go!

I was going to make the same comment but I decided to try to be clever instead...but HELL YES...it reaks of fear!

Can things really be this tight? Can they not afford even a 2% drop now?

If that's the case ...well if I remember college math and all that curve fitting stuff...we seem to be set to go off the rails in a few weeks. Maybe it will happen in October...it's 'tradition'

Bullshit!

The Feral Reserve big bank members have had it with propping up the bullshit economy for Obozo now that he's a laughable failure

So they're saving themselves by allowing yields to go back up and equities to implode now that they've suckered in all the muppets and have massive short positions.

 

And they fart in your general direction!

Does the stock market ramp decrease when the tapering increases and Belgium buys more of our paper?

Buy, buy, buy, buy......er......bye, bye, bye, bye.....

As volume continues to drop the Fed's buying effect is enhanced. Which means on volume spikes (such as during panic selling) the Fed's buying effect will be nil.

Every single world assets is gambled as collateral for derivatives, oil being at the base of the pyramid.

 

Every assets price drop is a margin call. Rate rise is just one way to centrally call margin.

Dumping crude oil is another way.

Look at the charts of Facebook, Tesla, Twitter, and Amazon from yesterday and today. Each one down hard yesterday with a slight end of day rebound following through today. Each one has exactly the same pattern.

It’s so obvious where the players are and what they’re up to. Raising cash yesterday in their AmazaFabookaTweeTesla dump and pump, I bet, in preparation for the big AliBaba IPO Gambalooza.

Wow, it is pretty early in the day to be hittin' the sauce. I suggest waiting til 3:30...that way you can still (monkey) hammer and yet make it look like you are just starting early.

At least yesterday they showed some tact.
