Really? We are moving THIS much on an IRGC comment? Geez.

IRGC says "us army didn't escort the ship" 1 - the army wouldn't do it (maybe semantics)? 2 - it doesn't mean a ship didn't go through at all. 3 - that was a 160 pt drop in /nq on an IRGC tweet....crazy.



...perhaps tweets/stories about mines in the strait are the real story here?

{quote} The energy secretary deleted his original tweet that claimed US escorted tanker immediately after posting. I believe that was more of the driver of reversal.
The 1-min chart shows the rally on the sec tweet, then the small fall off on the removal....which was bought up a bit for 15 minutes....then this IRGC tweet accompanied by an immediate drawdown in equities (which was probably MOST impacted by the concerns over mining in the CBS article, if we're being honest....the two just coincided with one another).

Whatever the case, it was a very unwelcomed string of headlines.

You're forgetting the fact that the US Secretary of Energy simply deleted the tweet mentioning this.

To me it looks like institutions are going after aggressive trailing stops before reversing to take out Thursday's PDH. Let's see what happens. If I'm correct, the reverse should happen right about now.
