Summary

Yesterday saw considerable chop, with the SPX settling effectively flat. S/t momentum settled fractionally positive.

Overnight futures have been very subdued, if leaning fractionally positive. The setup is identical to yesterday.

I would keep in mind yesterday’s SPX and Nasdaq black daily candles, which are highly suggestive that the market will turn red at some point today.

Far more important will be Thursday’s CPI data, when… one way or another, we can expect some market drama.
