(I'm not a trader) if I wanted to watch the market with a near-real-time dashboard, does that exist?

This will be blamed on COVID-19, but the problems go much deeper. Last year the Fed lost control of the repo market. the event was widely discounted at the time as an end-of-tax-year fluke. It wasn't. Six month ago, the yield curve inverted. People who should have known better said "this time is different." Speculators have been trained over the course of 10+ years to buy the dip. The Fed has your back. What we're se…
I kind of think that the Fed will not let this go too far in the middle of an election year, particularly given Trump. But yeah, the market was clearly overextended, and stock price growth was accelerating.
Slightly unrelated, but why does the stock market close each night? If trading was open 24/7, we wouldn't have large spikes like this every morning. We'd only have them when certain news is announced.

TL;DR: Letting markets take regular breathers probably helps curb swings in the market. It also lets people who manage money get some sleep (though of course there are other markets open 24/7).

Good. Because I don't buy for a moment that without COVID-19 the situation would be what it is now. Hindsight is 2020 and predictions of doom and stock market collapse is a dime a dozen.
For those unaware, this is common practice -- it a control that is working as intended. The trading was halted for 15 minutes
This is official policy, but not "common practice." According to CNBC: "These circuit breakers have never been triggered in their current form during regular trading hours." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/09/sp-500-futures-are-frozen-af...

> Six month ago, the yield curve inverted. People who should have known better said "this time is different." How does your story jive with the fact that the yield curves went back to normal? Either they are an indicator or they aren't.
> Either they are an indicator or they aren't. Because after the inversion the market (and Fed) reacted? No indicator is infallible or static.
