I don't know, I don't have it to analise.
Not all phantom bars have given clear signals, but I believe there is something to be read from their appearance, just like gaps which don't always get filled straight away.

I know some how something got to do with it, I just want to know too.

SKEW is how the pros play vol, while VIX is what is left for the peasantry and CNBC. Basically, VIX shows riskiness as implied by ATM options, while SKEW demonstrates the difference between ATM and OTM options. And as the chart below shows, there is a rather dramatic difference when looking between the VIX and SKEW indices. In essence what is happening is that everyone is selling ATM short-dated vol and buying mid-term Out of the Money vol as expressed by the SKEW, in a confirmation that the protection cost in the wings is actually much higher than one would assume.
after such kind of consolidation, the breakout will be strong and more likely on the upside.

DOM on the futures says we are gonna have a hard time getting through this resistance .. lots of sellers above 1308 .. i guess with enough pokes we'll get through though
none of the big boys seem to be around.. they can't break through 3K contracts @ 1308. i imagine the bulls will show some weakness here to give the bears hope and then make them all cover... ???
