Correct. People time trades off of catalysts. The market was a coiled spring loaded to max to go up. You had a super stretched VIX and highest put/call ratio. The market was going to have a rip your face off rally no matter what. It was just a matter of when. People waited around for Trump's speech before the move was going to happen. He was so terrible sounding that the market tried to sell but it wanted up. It's just how things work. Most moves happen premarket and end of day. This happened end of day.
I'm not buying it. No sane person is loading up on anything right before the close over a weekend these days. That's suicide. Back in 2008 we had dead cat bounce days, so yes those are normal and to be expected. The scripted and staged move today was just ridiculous.
Yeah yeah it's just the "market"...
