  1. Note that the actual rug pull took place on NO VOLUME AT ALL. Looks like they simply pulled all bids. Or was there a glitch?

  2. I don't get it.

    I have seen this before with some size, but there is no size here.

    I checked my Time and Sales too and it looks almost the same as the one you listed.
     
  3. dunno, looks like some glitch in the Matrix to me. There are supposed to be market makers/arb guys in there to pick up the slack when the contract gets out of whack.

    Really odd that there were many ping pong trades , where bids and offers widely spaced got filled simultaneously.

    wtf is that? Someone posted a bid ask list, that shows 100 point spreads.

    My guess is something broke.
     
  4. This may be what the MM looked like during that dislocation.

    Stops executed because 10470 was broken?
     
  6. Nope, doesnt explain why there were no bids at all.

    Watch carefully and during the day if you see size hitting several markets AT THE SAME TIME, SAME MINUTE, wait to see if follow through, then the market always goes the other way. Worked in AB the other day, its an amazing phenomena. I think whoever hit it, did so during a low liquidity period, and got more follow-through than they expected and then leaned into it and the stops followed. Nice trade.

    Probably some MM who watched cnbc and decided Maria's comments were valid.
