There really is no conspiracy and Zerohedge is a bit over the edge. Though I have seen more and more of these types of bars and it will really kill those automated trading systems since they could get a false positive. I agree with both of you.

If a trend reaches its climax in a bout of position closings by those who have been with the trend longest, is that not a tacit conspiration, albiet not explicit? Just something to consider, perhaps powerful people getting together and having a plan at some level or organization isn't such an outlier, but rather baked into the cake.

This choppiness and uncertainty will end at some point and a trend will re-emerge. I wouldn't say there is a conspiracy, just everyone trying to figure out how to make money in all of this. I randomly fell into your blog, and I like what I see....keep up the good work, I'm going to keep coming back!
