Haha. If there was ever a time for everyone to realize the market is fake, and controlled by the Fed, this is it. PPT and the Fed trading desk are real things. Its partially why quant systems work.

Another 6.6mm unemployed, market spikes 30 points.

3x mover. if you are a confident bull or bear and you like the price, i would say use it. I used for short term trades.

RSI is right in the middle so it is not extreme situation I would use

Being reported as 6.6 million - same as last week. Sounds like we simply can't process more than that in a given week, which could be scary as well.

Market went up about 300 points on the news of the data. Lower gains a little now but it was a very quick pop.

What were the expectations you saw? I didn't see any.

I personally, would not use a leveraged ETF for anything more than day trading or a couple of days swing trade. Before jumping in, do some research on how leveraged ETFs are rebalanced daily, and what that can mean over the long term, if that is your horizon.

Agreed...I may hop in if we get to 280 today as a daily trade

The market is throwing darts at new claims right now. Everyone knew it was going to be bad, but 6MM isn't materially different from 5MM (unless you happened to be included in the incremental 1MM).

I was mostly just joking, I have no clue how this day will end, but this is the number I was looking at.

Thanks, I was looking at it as a short term mechanism but that me be me bitint off more than I can chew. I got lucky (because I was lazy) and had most of my savings in cash so I've been putting it in pieces these past 10 days or so trying to avoid the stocks that recovered faster.

yep this is what's making the markets go up Pre Market. The fact the FED / Govt is throwing so much money at this problem makes me question whether we will indeed test the previous lows. We've never seen the FED step in like this.

I don't think we test the lows again now but we'll drop again. W recovery with a huge bubble on the back end and interest rates low forever.

You think this was coordinated with the unemployment data?

Nice timing.

Additional $2.5T on the heels of $2T tells me things are really really bad.

Yeah which is weird. The market usually sees through that BS but since I'm short it's up we go without any issues

Absolutely. Not only that, the data is being gamed.

1. Most daily volume is systematic/quant computers.
2. Any decent quant system constantly incorporates new data every minute.

Upon a volume spike, price move, massive breadth ratio up, etc etc, what will a systematic strategy do? Chase the long. Fed/PPT is giving an artificial pump when these unemployment numbers are released to game the data and manipulate computer volume to prevent market from falling.

could it be that there were more temporary than expected, thus, not as bad as they expected?

is it likely they did this yesterday also? We had breadth, 90% up day, and the A/D lines crossed. All positive that the break through of resistance is real (or made to look real).
