Summary

Yesterday saw November settle on a weak note. S/t momentum floored in early afternoon, and ticked upward into the close.

We’re set to open on a significantly positive note. S/t momentum is due to turn positive at the open. Soft upside resistance is the recent hist’ high of 3645.99, and we’re due to break that at the open.

By definition, new historic highs will make it a day, week, and month for the equity bulls.
