crazy SPY volume today

Quote from kinggyppo:

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.

Thats definitely a program. amazing.
 
173 million shares and an 8 cent net change. Should be able to draw a conclusion from those two elements.

What's missed is it also reflects the underlying basket in aggregate.

what i have heard about is that this pattern is caused by delayed T&S report from Arca. If you watch T&S you can see lots of prints printed out. They were just printed in decent money, but no one can get those, since those are just delayed prints.
 
Quote from makloda:

Since when is short covering tied to high volume across the board :confused:
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).
 
definitely big volume on spy today, but the end result on the daily chart is a gravestone doji. not exactly a great sign for the bulls. have to wait and see what happens tomorrow to get any confirmation on today's bar.
