    and I am showing all 5 min volume bars in the last 30 minutes to the close below 20,000 ES. Nothing is registered with that amount of volume in my data.

    We had about 18,000 + ES contracts traded from 15:55 to 16:00, and about 17,500 + ES contracts traded from 16:00 to 16:05. I hope this helps you! :)

    A broker/dealer who shall remain nameless (rhymes with scare) slammed the market with 3,000,000 QQQ and S&P futes on the closing bell. That's what caused the after hours (additional) weakness.
