Quote from brokenmarkets:
futures are so thinly traded it's not real..this market isn't real. very few traders/investors are buying or selling much of anything.
the market activity is really low or this is the new normal. afterhours i untradeable and even regular hours is hard dull market.
the market isn't the same anymore. some stocks that were daytradeable are not not daytradeable. fills used to be instant now it's longer to get filled. many market makers /traders have abandon market and only a few market makers/and traders are left. and even HFT robots have shut down their operations.

If INTC future was something to consider, it should have been 50% of day volume. It is not more than 17 million shares now.
