RE:Make it hurt bulls!There is little indication of short covering so far. If there is any in the last two days then it has been very minor .
Yesterday anonymous was the largest sell. Some of the trades could be HFT or small spread trading. You would see short covering when Anonymous is the top buyer.
Barclays could be index related buying. Lot of oil stocks have been kicked out of indices. Oil sector is very unpopular at this time. There has been huge exit of funds from the sector. The new investors have been very reluctant to come to oil sector. If oil price continue to stay above $55 to $60 then all the oil companies will be generating decent amount of free cash flow then investors will not ignore the sector.
So far the investors have not bought into in the run up in oil prices. Once the sector recovers then one by one you will see oil stocks being added back to different indices and recovery of share prices..
