The markets gapped down big again, tried to come back, never filled the gaps, and then rolled again to test the lows before bouncing back to the VWAP on 2.1 billion NASDAQ shares. The NASDAQ side was very flat and stuck in the opening 5 minute range for a huge piece of the day.

Net ticks: +17.5 ticks.
