So why did the market just pop up

Quote from svata:

Nonsense.

You can buy only when somebody is selling and vice versa.

Today buyers were pretty more aggressive than sellers.

Wrong - price rises when the offer trades out and goes bid, that requires more buying than selling at that price. Ditto for the next offer, ad infinitum, as price rises. You seem to be confusing demand at a given price, with filled trades. Filled trades are not a requirement for a market price to change, for example in an auction NO trades take place until the final one, yet the price changes many times as it goes up.

Aggressiveness is completely irrelevant. An ultra-aggressive 1 lot seller is overwhelmed by a cautious 2 lot buyer, etc.

P.S. lol that this is your 3rd post in almost a decade - you didn't see anything worth posting on for years, then pop up to make a semantic quibble, one that you got wrong anyway? Hehehe

July 7 to July 8 cash session is not filled. Where did you get that chart? I does not see the gap he showed in his chart.

this is from stockcharts. i guess they could be wrong in that they started to report AH.

Too funny.

Svata....To make it more simple, today, demand overwhelmed supply: More buyers than sellers.
 
For me. I believe today's action hinged on the news out of Europe. The eur/usd prior to the news was at the confluence of the 50 and 100 DMA. A cross is extremely bullish or bearish so you can expect alot of buying and selling there. (Just look at all the crosses over the last couple of years.) Anyway, I expected the results from the EU meeting to be positive based on all the opinion prior to the meeting.

Sure enough, the initial reports from the meeting were good. Risk was back on. The Euro rallied, the S&P rallied.

Shortie -- try plotting IVV. SPY has some bad prints.

stockcharts should get their act together
