Summary

Yesterday saw the market open a little shaky, but then climb across the day, printing a new hist’ high. S/t momentum settled on the moderately high side.

Overnight futures have been leaning upward, we’re set to open +10/15pts. We’ve three s/t downside gaps… and those are going to be resolved, if not until the flip side of Labor day.
