After a very mushy up and down and down and up session Tuesday, perhaps the algos have decided to buy. Perhaps all the big brokerages, funds, etc. got together and decided to reprogram their algos to a buyside bias.
Hate upside gaps. This move started with a gap off that late October low, and then another one last WED was the follow through. Oh well, there are good patterns out there, and if they move well we want to pick them up.
