The end of quarter is almost here, and the levitation continues. The bulls will have to break this out on thin volumes, or give up the propping effort and let prices find their level fairly soon. The outflow from retail investors continues and hedge funds are challenged by redemption requests.
“Some economists, when thinking about long memory, are concerned that it undercuts the Efficient Market Hypothesis that prices fully reflect all relevant information; that the random walk is the best metaphor to describe such markets; and that you cannot beat such an unpredictable market. Well, the Efficient Market Hypothesis is no more than that, a hypothesis. Many a grand theory has died under the onslaught of real data.” Benoît B. Mandelbrot
