looks to me like computer trading with stops getting taken out along the way. People know a financing is coming so not a lot of support there. But it looks to me k like the computer algos jumping on the shorts taking out the stops is the straw that broke the camels back and the authorities had no choice but to put a Halt on the trading to stop the carnage. Lack of human traders in the system is showing up as a real weakness in the system. Volatility rules.
