After Market Manipulation

Pay special attention to after market hours especially on the 13,500 Tick.
My thinking is that only large accounts are allowed to trade after the close and many pros natural close shop, so there are fewer traders, thus the Pro's, Specialist/Market Makers don’t need to do much to mark the price up or down. This appears to be wholesale price accumulation /Distribution oppurtunities for specialist who can see the BOOKS and order flow from the previous days Close and Peak Pro activity. It would make sense to establish positions that are likely to play out the next day if you could see this order flow.

Look for trend clues to begin, reverse or continue in the close/pre open (after market hour)

Look for previous day PRO activity on the 13500 tick and how it relates to After Market moves, Is there support or Rissistance, Divergence etc. Are the expected moves playing out in the after market?  Try to picture how the next day will play out, taThere king the after market moves into heavy consideration.

Ask Yourself  WHAT ARE THE SPECIALIST TRYING TO GET INVESTOR TO DO?

Look for the After Market moves to confirm the days close. ie, If the mrkt closes up on the day with pros stepping in, Does it sell off in the after market? If so then maybe we can look for signs that the next day could close up?


Look for 4500 tick trend to confirm the 13,500 analysis. There are usually 2-3 white bars that I interpret as SPECIALIST manipulation. 
Notice how the market trends in the opposite direction as the After Market PEAKS.
