Both tapes agree. The structural hedge paused.
For five of the last seven sessions, the dark pool sold indexes while the lit tape bought. The pattern held through panic, bounce, CPI, and peace. Today it paused.
$SPY: $2.82B lit, $558M dark. Both buy.
$QQQ: $3.12B lit, $219M dark. Both buy. The index divergence resolved.
$MSFT: $177M dark pool. $782M lit tape. Both tapes agree on
$MSFT buy. The first time since the distribution began. The dark pool sold
$MSFT with zero or near-zero buys for weeks. Today: $177M buy. On both venues. The distribution ended simultaneously on both tapes.
$INTC: $743M dark pool with zero sells. $1.97B lit tape with $8M sells. Both tapes. Zero opposition on the dark pool. Near-zero on the lit tape. The most complete cross-venue Intel accumulation signal of the series.
$DIA: -$891M. The Dow ETF sold in the dark pool with $30M in buys. Near-zero. The dark pool is buying
$SPY and
$QQQ but selling
$DIA and
$IWM. Rotating between indexes. Not hedging all of them. That's a new pattern. The dark pool is differentiating: buy the S&P and Nasdaq, sell the Dow and Russell. Tech-weighted indexes in. Old economy and small cap indexes out.
$META: -$95M.
$AMZN: -$57M. The ad platforms continue to sell on the dark pool.
Week fourteen ends. The dark pool agreed with the lit tape. The distribution paused.
$MSFT bought on both venues for the first time.
$INTC zero sells on both venues. The structural hedge that held for five sessions resolved on the broadest day of the month.
FOMC next Wednesday. First Warsh decision. Both tapes are aligned heading into the most important rate decision of the year.
Now you're watching both.
