I pointed this out yesterday but here it is again. Look at the
huge volume in the last five mintues of trading
yesterday as Hal and his buddies
bought
the short SDS.
You are welcome, two sayings to remember in trading; "someone
always knows something" meaning insiders are everywhere and they
trade before the news leaks out. Also, "Volume is Validity" meaning
that when there is rising volume with rising prices it's for real.
Otherwise be suspect of an move up or down that isn't accompanied
with more volume as it may turn out to only be a head fake. This
Friday is options expiration and therefore head fakes are in
vogue.

We are drawing a rising wedge on a 3 min. spy chart, these usually break down but we shall see. The volume on the move down this AM was light.
