These 10 points happen in 1/2 hour or less. On 5-min, 15-min, or 30-min charts they look strange.

10 ES points daily is not 10 Std. deviations Daily it is not, but most of the intra-day index gains take place over a very short-time period - 15-30 minutes and that I think is unusual. During most of the day indexes trade within a very narrow range except those sharp bursts particularly around 7-7:30 am and 11-11:30 am. These can be clearly seen on days where there is bad macro news, indexes start to go down and all of a sudden very sharp V bottom and reversals. It may not be manipulation per se, it could be 'free market' program trading by a very large player or multiple big players sharing same algorithm, but the action is really weird.
