TDLR: Fed Buys Long term treasuries, which increases the supply of USD in circulation, because the FED prints the $ used in these purchases.
Here is a picture of the M2 Money supply Vs. S&P dating since 1980. I see you STEM in your profile so im assuming you are aware of the 2nd derivative. So peep your assumed 2nd derivative of M2 (blue line), versus the S&P. The idea of QE, and a whole gang of other tricks the FED has up their sleeve, is artificially propping the markets is not a "crazy idea", shyt, most professionals ASSUME that.
In fact, here the what people call the dark pool. Pretty much the dark pool is the exchange that hedge funds makes trades. After all, retail traders (you and I), might make 10k trade here and there, hedge funds makes trades in the billions.

The Blue line signifies Dark pool net buying, a reading of 45%< shows more hedge funds are buying stocks than selling. March 20th the reading was 36%, by march 26th it was 46% (3 days after QE infinity was announced).
