Summary

Yesterday saw early sig’ gains fade to marginal declines, if recovering into the close, settling moderately higher. S/t momentum settled marginally positive.

Overnight futures have been sig’ higher, primarily due to Nvidia. We’re set to open +70pts or so… into the low 6700s.

Best guess… an OPEX pin around 6700. I’m open to the notion of the 6800s early next week, before resuming lower into/across December.
