Is it just me or is there a pattern developing in the way we trade.

The underlying interest shows up in the pre-open (this morning was quite strong as have most starts in recent weeks).

Then the bots cut in and wear away at the market (as they are designed to).

In the last 20 minutes or so we see a return of buyers seeking value from the detritus left behind by the bots and in the CSPA. The size of the trade parcels is larger at the beginning and the end of the day which is relative to how well the bots are working for the short sellers.

Any smart buyer knows this and places offers accordingly.

I will stick my neck out and predict that we might even finish slightly up on the day.

We have 15 minutes left to prove my point, one way or the other.
