“8th-biggest Point Leap Ever” is worth noting.

I wholeheartedly agree. But I also ask myself "Why?" did it occur. Were there a boatload of incredible earnings reports? - No

A 400 point run-up on extremely negative financial news is as a poster said earlier - bull trap.

Au contraire. Jesse Livermore always said that a market that rallies on bad news is reacting to smart money or insider buying. It is the best indicator of a looming bull market that there is. Don't ignore it.

But the news wasn't really bad. In fact the indicators released today all came in better than expected.
