Summary

Yesterday saw numerous minor swings, if ending on a positive note. S/t momentum ticked upward into the close.

Overnight futures have been leaning on the weaker side… but nothing that merits as anything than ‘moderate’.

I would look for early weakness, but an upside reversal. Friday offers better chance for the bulls, on more ‘bad news is good news’. Basic upside target are the 4330s, and the more cautious bears will remain very much patient.
