But, we'll see.
Normally, they don't like cheaters.

WashPost says this:
The craziness ran right up to Fridays closing bell, as the Standard & Poors 500 index and Dow Jones industrial average plunged more than 3 percent minutes after the World Health Organization warned that world health systems were collapsing under the coronavirus

But for the most part, it's anyone's guess

(33,198 posts)5. There was a huge spike in volume as Tangerine Idi Amin was speaking.
I have a theory on this... But, I will keep it to myself.

(1,076 posts)6. My guess?
Petroleum crude was doing well this morning after Tangerine Tweetler ran his mouth about butting into the Saudi-Russian price war, and that gave the desperate a straw to grasp onto for the market.
Then traders realized...
"Wait a minute. If that idiot gets involved with that other shit show, he'll fuck it up like he does everything else."
Crude prices started reversing, and the market started declining.
And then came that shit storm of a press conference.
And off we were to another big drop.
