Black Week (Mar 5 - 9)

the largest speculators are the market. Its a positive feedback mechanism. A big speculator phones in a order, as soon as the order hits the pit, other traders spot the signs from the floor broker, the next speculator tries to frontrun the large order, and a herd mentality starts. Especially when emotions are involved.

Unless the large speculators waste financial resources trying to take opposing trades, the people that lose are the ones outside the loop, so, labeling the price action as 'them' or 'they' refers to the herd mentality of the large speculators. The behavior patterns are almost identical.

The same behavior patterns got them to the point of throwing around 10,000 lot blocks. Its a combination of Behavioral Finance/Game Theory.
 
Here is the same chart shown logarithmically, which is the proper format to show anything which grows exponentially like compound interest.

Note that the red line is merely a line connecting the starting point to the ending point. It shows fairly well that we are near the average.

Quote from Spectre2007:

they aren't done positioning themselves in Asia, so they will close US markets negative, so Asia has negative sentiment. The forerunners are still short Asian Indicies and want bigger profits on those positions.

US will only close positive when they are done hitting Asia.

looks like 'they' didn't do well with that strategy.

end of day selloff nullified.

Well, one thing we can all agree on is that if it is, you'll post 50 times.

And if it's not, we won't hear from you at all.
