I appreciate you making these posts. So far, when in bearish mode, the market is always down or declining. When in bullish mode the market is always up or rising. Does that not imply that HFTs are largely in control of market direction?

Supposing that this is not impossible, might we interpret any failure of the market to advance on a bullish HFT watcher day as being a sign HFTs are losing control of the market and thus bearish?

Nowadays HFT ruling the market. However, this is a VST indicator and the mode is volatile and can be reversed on a dime. Longer term into next week, I'm not bearish at all........
