Look at a one minute chart of xle, spy and dia from 11:00 to 11:30 am New York time, I have never seen this pattern before looks like a program of some sort.
Many funds had 1527 on the spx as a target. There were probably a number of stops in that area to buy the breakout. Also fueling the advance was the massive capitulation of the shorts (as a few previous posters confirmed). The funds used the great liquidity to exit their longs. With their size, this was the gift they were expecting (& hoping for).Quote from makloda:
