I think a major difference this week has been the support the sp has received in the closing auction. The buying and bids seem to be much more legitimate so far this year. This has continued even in the last few days where the sp has been weaker , yesterday it seemed the sp it would close 12.5 % down but received support in closing auction and closed 7.5 % down and today it seemed it would close in the red but received support in the closing auction and finished flat. This is very different to last month especially prior to CR where the closing auction sp manipulation was blatantly obvious dragging the sp down further.
