Closing imbalance was positive, but was more bullish than shown as the buys were eclipsed by $V and $BAC sells

So while the imbalance at the 3:45pm ET reveal was a mere $400M, looking below the hood on the MiM data we could see that large sells in $BAC and $V held back the total size:

Take that $300M sell out and add it to the buy side and we would have been closer to $700M.  Still selling finance into the end of the year is recession proofing.
