    I was trading Treasuries tonight and caught this move, I thought I'd share just what a mountain of money does to a market:

    Treasuries are usually sedate little things, but this move tonight was a monster. I've noticed these happening far more frequently than usual. What's most interesting are the blue bars which are big institutional buyers getting in before the surge, almost as if they knew this was going to happen.

    Sorry for the shitty image

    No shit - market manipulation can work in any market if you are a big enough bank or banks or hedge funds - or if you're the govt
