From zerohedge.com

Starting at 11:06, S&P futures began to slide, picked up at 11:09, then at ~11:11:11, someone decided to dump 6,800 e-mini contracts in one second all at once in a nice fiduciary-duty-worthy trade as Europe begins to close and POMO ends. That is around $625 million notional... Volume overall was huge in the last few minutes (as the chart below shows).
