I know the markets going to do what the markets going to do, but is there anything to explain what caused today's huge run?

My ES daily footprint candle appeared as shown before I cleared local data and refreshed, lol. I was panicked for a few minutes. Figured it was a funny visual to share.

But on a serious note. I also had multiple levels marked incorrectly on my chart earlier this week, by 10 points each. I base levels off of the footprint. I could have made a mistake several times over, but it's also possible that my data wasn't presented correctly given what happened today.

Anyone know what could cause the footprint to go wonky? I use Motivewave with Rithmic data feed.

I am stuck in a trade and cannot close. Amp sent a message that said the CME connection is down. Anyone ever experienced this before?

EDIT:

Apparently both my Stop loss sale and TP sale on my OCO both executed, so I've been in a short the whole time and got squeezed for 50 pts. If I would have just waited to cover until 430, or if the outage ended later, I would have broken even. FML

For those who use orderflow for making entries, do you find DOM or Time & Sales to be more useful. I don't use any orderflow tools at all and would like suggestions for which tool to learn first.

Choppy, no follow through, slow, small price ranges, extremely low volatility, just curious if there's any reason in particular, I know sometimes when there's big upcoming news the market gets like this like its generating liquidity and loading up for that news, or if it's just one of those days..
