Final update: massive paper sell orders on the open and locals were stuck long (twice). Locals are persistent and got long again on the final low print and has been manipulating the price up (bear flag??). Cum ES vol running at 135% of 9 day average as at 11:30AM. While the vol does seem to indicate we should be looking at a trend day, NYSE cum tick has turned up and getting close to crossing back into positive territory. Paper has been reasonably quiet over the last 30 mins.
