Quote from Cocaine:
This was the catalyst, how often do you see someone sweep the book with a decently large buy mkt order then bid the plus with 2k+ shares and doesnt walk (especially in a quiet market prior)? I dont know why he came in at this time, only that this event started the rally. Maybe he bought more after that? Or maybe others jumped in and carried the mkt higher. who knows, all I can say is this started the rally, plain and simple.
My job is not to ask why but to see whats happening, understand the circumstances and make profitable trades. As you know OC, its about spotting clues and making good trades.
I bet it was MLB trading to take the heat off its steroid investigation.
