When In Need Of Humor, NYMEX Close Delivers

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Because nothing screams un-broken and un-rigged market like a completely unjustified $1+ spike in the world's most important commodity as it nears the NYMEX close, just because at the very same instant every algo decided to frontrun every other algo. 

Perfect algo-inspired run-stop hunt to above Friday's NYMEX close.

 

...and fade.

Chart: Bloomberg

this is nothing new.... there have been moves like this on crude and other commodities for 10-20 years...

it's only inept fools, journalists and losers, that scream manipulation...

think into it logically... the market is off $5 from thursdays yemen panic highs... lots of shorts on board.... end of the month, end of the quarter... time to exit.... no cigar on a break below $47.50 a critical and psyhcological level... cover those shorts.....

I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... www.globe-report.com

Could this be the same manipulation as in metals?

The very same.

No difference.

Just more ""price discovery"" as the SEC and CFTC see it though.  That recent Bart Chilton interview said it all.  These HFT scamsters are 'liquidity providers' and good for price discovery.

I can't say I see HFT. Goldfuck ballsacks with a handfull of traders can move the CL easy enuff.  

They really want this 47 to 53 range to continue even though the ONX, il vix is high, the volitility is not true. 

Some pullbacks are crazy, then sop on a dime then consolidate then reverse in a real lame fashion.  The followthrus are shit.

Tue dat, only price discovery but pointless for the fact the contract runs into May.  Until true settlement and purchase, this is just a game. But no one purchases this way anymore.  Petrodollar is a figment of imagination.

This is why short term trading is now for bots only, and a few foolish goyim that are soon parted from their money.

Why is a $1 spike in oil 'unjustified'? Couldn't it also mean that 20% of the recent $5 monkey hammer drop in oil was 'unjustified' and maybe the monkeys should have only hammered oil down $4 instead?

Gold is down $13 today. Is that 'unjustified' too? Or just the price adjusting to the (surprisingly) quick Saudi/Egyptian reaction to Yemen?

There is nothing 'justified' or 'unjustified' in a manipulated market. Justifying or not requires a belief that market prices reflect some type of rational fundamentals. The ONLY thing that matters is whether you are smart enough to stay (or get) out, or whether you make a lucky enough guess to front run such a market, or whether you prepared for the eventual day that the manipulators lose control.

USD up too.  Yellen had to pound the buy button to make oil move 3% 15 minutes before the close.

 

MOAR FED FRAUD!!!
