Right Now, E-Mini Liquidity Is Even Worse Than Yesterday

Tyler Durden's picture




 

If yesterday's liquidity was bad enough to precipitate the biggest wholesale market flash crash, including the historic, first-ever "limit down" triggers for all major index futures, then be very careful what you do today because as of this moment E-mini liquidity is even worse than it was yesterday, not to mention at any other point in the past month, at this time of the day.

if thats not bullish, then they will just "break" the "market" until it becomes bullish.

Low liquidity today should equate to a wild roller coaster ride. Hold on to your hats.

No liquidity/low volume has traditionally signaled an up market in recent years.  The only time they all come pouring back in is to sell.

Doesnt matter, liquidity is manufactured by Yellen as needed.

I am sure the HFT will bring liquidity to the market.

Isn't it particularly easy for the Fed to buy up a market when liquidity is low?

So, where did the liquidity go? Portfolio of the central bank?

The PPT and HFTs are probably creating a selling opportunity by bidding prices up. I wonder if a bunch of shares will be dumped on the market looking to sell the rip. The only question is when.

Illiquidity is in the pocket of the holder.

Just like correlation is NOT causation, so too is volume NOT liquidity.

 

Trading the same 1000 shares back and forth gives volume but no liquidity if you are a third party looking to sell 200 shares.

The longs got smoked on Monday's open and then the shorts got it rammed right up their ass as central banksters came in and bought the limit down sell off.

Now both are going to pick up their blocks, go home, and refuse to play in such a rigged market.

Liquidity is going to get even worse.

The fun is just beginning.  A two+year bear market in equities is going to crush the Baby Boomers.

And it couldn't happen to a more deserving generation.

Oscar Carboni explains the liquidity problem an a most amazing way - with pictures of traders in a trading pit. It (the lack of liquidity) makes sense when he outlines how things work.
