Stocks Suffer Mini Flash Crash Just As 4th Hindenburg Omen Spotted

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With someone desperate to sell 6,100 S&P 500 e-mini contracts in 1 second at 12:20:05, US stocks market indices hit a mini-flash-crash air-pocket as the 4th Hindenburg Omen signal flashed in the last 5 days... paging Waddell & Reed... We await the next Fed speaker to save stocks in a v-shaped recovery.

 

Because - fun-durr-mentals

 

ES tumbled (wait for the v-shaped recovery)

 

With a rapid plunge...

 

Pretty agressive at the lows...

 

As the minis went so the entire US market got smacked...

 

As The 4th Hindenburg Omen signal was spotted...

 

As a reminder, the Hindenburg Omen is a trend and internals indicator:

In order for the Hindenburg Omen to hold true, says Tom McClellan, three events must occur in the same day:

  • The number of new 52-week highs and 52-week lows are greater than 2.8 percent of the advances and declines in the New York Stock Exchange.
  • The NYSE Composite Index is above the level it was 50 trading days ago.
  • The McClellan Oscillator (an indicator of whether a market is overbought or oversold) is below zero.

“If you get all of these events on the same day then we have this Hindenburg Omen. It’s good for 30 days, but it gets invalidated anytime the McClellan Oscillator goes back positive,” McClellan added.

Please, the "market" will be whatever central command wants it to be.  It is now an issure of "national security".

Where's ekm1?  Help us out here.

God forbid that stocks may even go down 10 points.

When the E-mini gets smacked down 20 points every morning at 3am for 3 months straight, then you can worry about the stock market bubble being over.  This happens to gold every single day.

The Hindenburg Omen hasn't worked in the last few years.   I don't know if they are ever going to let the market go down.

Somebody the other day might have had it right,  nominally stocks will stay up, like in Zimbabwe.

The thing that's going to crash is the currency.

So an ES drop of <10 points is now a crash?

Fast forward two years when any down tick is labelled as such.

I realize a lot of science fiction geeks sit on trading desks, but do you really think bringing back 'Lost in Space's' June Lockhart from the dead and having her weigh in on oil and rate hikes will provide a stick save?

Why is it still legal to sell the "Market" anyway? It just doesn't make sense to have down day during the holiday season, one might get the wrong idea about the state of the Ponzi.

All you have to do is look at mining stocks as a leading indicator.  If the Fed ever stops propping the inducies it prefers, everything is going down there.

Rifkin is another idiot Communist repeating the stupidity of Karl Marx.  The problem is not capitalism or, more directly, free markets.  The solution was not provided by Marx.  There is nothing after free markets but darkness.  And we are half way there.  He may not come out an state it, but reading between the lines, he is spounting communism.

Oh, my, get out of the way, please! It's burning and bursting into flames....and all the folks agree that this is terrible, this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. It's–it's–it's the flames, ...oh, four- or five-hundred feet into the sky and it ... it's a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. It's smoke, and it's flames now...and the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite to the mooring-mast. Oh, the humanity and all the passengers screaming around here. I told you, I can't even talk to people whose friends are on there. Ah! It's–it's–it's–it's....o–ohhh! I–I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest, it's just laying there, a mass of smoking wreckage. Ah! And everybody can hardly breathe and talk, and the screaming. Lady, I–I'm sorry. Honest: I–I can hardly breathe. I–I'm going to step inside where I cannot see it. Charlie, that's terrible. Ah, ah—I can't. I, listen, folks, I–I'm gonna have to stop for a minute because I've lost my voice. This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed."
