They just fooled everybody out of their longs.

Major buyers on that last drop.

Just curious Spec. Your ma's didn't even hint at support at 64 on that last run. How do you utilize the ma's in that situation?

gold is up over 11% (highest one day ever)
silver is up 15%
vix is over 36
treasuries are selling at a negative yield

I can almost guarantee that Asia will shit pants in a while. Buy order somewhere at 1155-50 will be probably filled during night - if not even lower.
If it will not happen than today was just trap.

my intuition is to the point that I can predict the MA's crossovers before they happen using price action at the tic level on the 240 tic chart.
