Stock Market Analysis for Today: What Market-on-Close Orders Are Telling Us
One useful way to understand the flow of money in and out of the stock market is by looking at market-on-close (MOC) order imbalances. These imbalances reflect whether big institutions such as mutual funds, ETFs, and pensions are leaning more toward buying or selling as the market closes. While retail traders rarely have direct access to this data, at InvestingLive.com we track it and provide insights to help you understand what it could mean for sentiment and direction.
Why this matters to stock market investors and traders
-
Market-on-close orders represent the final push of the day, where large players rebalance portfolios, add risk, or reduce exposure.
-
A positive imbalance (more buying at the close) can indicate fresh inflows of capital.
