It doesn't appear from the sparse HH trade dates that they are doing too much bot trading. If anything, looking at the heavy shorting again on the 3rd/6th they put a floor under the SP at 89.5c on the 3rd - the second attempt by the shorters to hammer down through that level over the last two weeks.

Probably best to wait to see how things pan out 16/17th to see how much index fund dumping happens, but I have been buying again today. There is no doubt the shorters and their thread representative are gunning for a new lows, but they might come unstuck if HH keeps buying, or their buying attracts another. Be sure they will take advantage of upcoming dow weakness to try to churn it lower.
