Sharp afternoon reversal on the Dow

Looking at the intraday chart of the Dow Jones it looks like it fell hard until 2pm and then rebound sharply at approximately 2:30... talking about volatility...image

3:30 pm : The major indices have staged an expeditious rebound from their worst levels of the session, aided by what appears to be some program trading and, most likely, some short-covering activity.

The financial sector (-0.9%) has gone along for the ride and has played a major role in the broader market's recovery.  At its lows for the day, the financial sector was down 2.8%.
