Thanks for your thoughts, FJ. Gooch posted a similar theory well before I did, and so you've answered him, too.
There are a myriad of dots floating around out there, that's for sure. And I've been liking most of the possible shapes connecting them in various ways could produce. But the dots which materialized based on the tech and mechanical issues, can also be connected in a less pleasing manner.
I think your dot-connecting makes the most sense (along with the many others that have connected them in a manner leaving longs smiling - heck, I was even connecting them that way earlier in the week), but now there are additional dots to consider.
I do think the majority of the dots create a fine figure, but these few new ones, along with some of the old (capped recently at $2, for example) are not as flattering.
I certainly agree that something is up, and I continue to think that something is more likely than not positive.
