Alright, this topic hits the nail right on the head. The only explanation is manipulation. This time is the patriotic herd effect, which is manipulation driven by manipulation. Don't be silly to fight it as you will be not a patriot. And if you are not a patriot, you are a traitor and may be excuted per Bush's book.
It's a good thing to remember when trading is that the outcome of any given trade is surely an unknown(Anything can happen!!) but the probablitlites will play themselves out over the longer haul. Kinda funny how we can work it.
