The "technical glitch" was caused by the apparent misuse of "test data" by a third party during after-hours trading. This claim raises more questions than answers however: What sort of "test data"? Why was it distributed? For what purpose was it distributed? Why was it distributed on a US holiday when liquidity was so low?
Keep in mind this isn't the first time a major technical glitch has occurred on a US holiday; gold prices went wild on Thanksgiving of 2014.
More questions than answers at this point.
Stay curious my friends.
