A Close Up Of The Market Ripple Which Stopped Stocks Tumbling At 11:01 am
A funny thing happened at 1101ET. Amid the deep plunge in stocks, 'someone' suddenly traded an enormous block of e-mini S&P futures which appeared to stall the sell-off (for now). This followed a similar (but smaller) block trade at 1042ET which also extracted all the liquidity from the market momentarily and enabled a brief rally.
That is twice we have seen a big block followed by a rally in futures...
and a close up shows the shocking ripple as liquidity was sucked away by the huge block trade...

And to think....I almost pressed the sell button! Not.
Womanipulation would be most accurate.
A techno team for every need. But for how long? I still think you can't go wrong setting up shorts. Where else can can the show go?
no power great enough to stop nature
Citadel clearly slacking today.
The Fed prints and buys bonds from the Treasury, the Treasury uses it's ESF to trade into equity, currency, and all other markets. The problem is no one else is buying and the Fed and Treasury own moar and moar of everything, so when they do it again tomorrow their balance sheet has less purchasing power vs its over all weight.
^^ The diminishing return of the fiat ponzi at work.
I think it won't be long. The PPT will function more as a brake on the way down, than a throttle on the way up, or flat for that matter.
Feb?
The PPT can come in and shore up the markets but in the end when people decide to get out of the markets the Govt. will own the whole market. It seems a direction banks and markets have been drifting towards since 08.
Yes and the dollar - the underpinning of the Federal Reserve system - lost whatever purchasing power it had vs its circulation/volume.
Those Hedgies lost all that money last year..might as well start early this year...
QE 1000 at work.
Could probably make a great living with nano-second long calls written the instant after Fed interventions.
...
well if you have access to the technology...
Since most of us don't...
How long until the non-Market Market is abandoned?
Have given up and sit it cash as well...why deal with 200 trading days of stress for at best a 3% gain this year when I can enjoy waiting for a real no stress entry point
After propping up the markets for 7 years, this year, 2016, the plan is to let it all fail.
They've made their money, now it's time they get out.
Look for the markets to crash, hard (50% or more), while the World, which is already on fire all around us, devolves into utter chaos and big-time wars.
Look for many False Flag events here at home, resulting, of course in eventual Martial Law--allowing Barack Obama to stay in office.
Now, any chance for impeaching Obama and arresting the rest of the traitors before the above happens?
(On the other hand, maybe everything will be just hunky-dory and Trump will save the day?)
Yellen sets her alarm for 10:55.
ZH: Time for a Stratfor update on how bad the MidEast can be...can't remember a time in the last 30 years that Israel and somebody weren't the headlines...tells you how bad it is that they are back on page 8 now...
What liquidity?
DOW to da moon
all things are possible when the masters of the fiat dollar are unconstrained.
I do not believe something as unpleasant as a crash will be tolerated.
They will have to change some rules to do this...but that is the easy part.
All debt will be bought for cash...and dumped on your front lawn.
Are we there yet?
Market has gone flatline. I hope the patient is dead.
Identical but reverse movement in the PMs, at the same moment.
Not at all manipulated.
Ah. NOw I see you. There you are. (Non-financial institutions intervening to benefit financial institutions).
how many billions of joe six-pack's $'s in yearend bonuses deposited into 401'ks were evaporated in 2 minutes?
Look a the silver chart: spike to 14.20 then stomped to 13.85.
I bet the PPT HFT computers are smokin' hot!
No PPT - just my buddy Lloyd, trying to get the trade closer to home ;)

We're gonna find Durden with a bullet in his cake-hole some morning…

Is it any surprise this occurs as the London markets close????
Kevin Henry doesn't have the juice to fight traders in London so he waits until 11 a.m. to release the PPT!
Right?
Nothing is fair in love, war, and (un)free markets!
