nice spike

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Everyone knows right now traders are ready to pounce on any news out of Europe, especially coming into the Greek election this weekend. Markets have always been prone to spikes on news out of the blue. The S&P moved 10-12 points in about 3 minutes (not 3 seconds, which still wouldn't have been too crazy IMO.)

It's just normal market behavior if you ask me.

EUR/USD broke 1.235 ish (which is where it was after the recent rate cut) on short covering. FX traders should be having a field day.

round number game....lol

check the DOW....lol
 
Some news about Draghi but I thought that already happened earlier.

Volume was really low at the start this morning. I remember thinking probably a surge later on today. Big players hold off until now to push?

Spike was due to report saying central banks helping out Europe.

But all the gains have been given back. Don't know if maybe it was a "planted" rumour.

where was this story first seen?
 
Was news released at precisely 1:25 EST today?? That spike looks exactly like one that would occur after an unscheduled news release. TIA

It looked like cascading to me and that is exactly the way I called it.
