> These sort of trades happy fairly regularly

I think the post established that this volume or size of spike is unique before any market-shifting news event coming out of the government in recent decades. The "sort" of transaction is irrelevant except that it's risky and thus relatively low volume normally.

It did not established that. If it was so unique, the market would have reacted to this trade (before the news).


It's unusual for it to happen in major indices.

I said it happens in individual stock cases, but very few people / places that control major market moving news leak - and when they do they investigate the hell out of it.

Imagine if this happened 20 minutes before Jerome Powell unexpectedly dropped interest rates?
