And The Options Market Breaks (Again)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With Crude ramping, dragging stocks with it (as USDJPY is dead now) but not really gaining much ground, it was only a matter of time before the manipulators turned to their oldest-trick-in-the-book:

  • 1249ET - *NASDAQ, NYSE EXCHANGES DECLARE SELF-HELP AGAINST CBOE
  • *NYSE AMEX OPTIONS SUSPENDED ROUTING TO CBOE
  • *CBOE SAYS ALL PREVIOUSLY HALTED CLASSES NOW IN PRE-OPEN STATE

VIX is gapping lower...

 

 

Mission Accomplished.

Source: NYSE

Just minutes before m,arkets broke, this happened...

With a huge volume spike in S&P 500 e-mini futures...

 

Fixed..

  • 1307ET - *CBOE SAYS ITS MARKET IS OPERATING NORMALLY AGAIN

of course they had too. Crude was set to rip to $42.50 or lower today quickly. Either break it or watch it tank below $40 by payrolls on Friday. It still may. It is funny knowing they are in a full panic mode.

Only breaks on the way down, never on the way up.  Just saying.

This kind of bullshit ALWAYS happens before a holiday weekend. The markets will close green for the week, etc.. Gotta get the sheeple to spend spend spend for "back to school".

I was wondering what the hell was going on with crude flying off the charts based on nothing. hopefully this tiny rally gets sold or my shorts aren't going to be happy.

Well, if TPTB are going to pick a time to have a "halt" in trading, I'd say a three-day US holiday weekend would be the perfect one.

Nanex can you show the spoofing right now in crude oil. Would love to see some chart porn on this. Past hour is all we need

Gotta keep this piece of shit together until NFL officially kicks off.  Market crashes are easier to handle if you can either take solace in "at least my team is winning" or taking out your frustrations on said team.  Funny how the inevitable Fed rate hike almost perfectly coincides in timing.

Inevitable my ass - the Fed ain't gonna hike; the damned if they do is a lOT worse than the damned if they don't. The Fed will continue to hint and jawbone, but they basically can't hike - they missed the window.

PPT see's a channel up opportunity clear on the 60 minute ES chart.  They are desperate to paint the tape so this channel becomes reality.

I would say I can't believe oil just went positive...but tihs market is so f***** up it's laughable.

 

Thanks CBOE for wrecking my put gains.

By the way PPT, you are traitors to your craft if you were ever traders before.  Trying to manipulate the natural market because some douchebag tells you to do it.  Also, it's illegal pus&y.

It aint illegal if the gov. says it is ok to do it. I wish they would give me permission too, then I could have hookers and blow just like a real bankster.

whether or not they get punished for it, they are doing more harm than good in the long run.
