Summary

Yesterday saw a few swings, but there were buyers on each cooling wave, the market settling on a positive note. S/t momentum cooled across the day, settling on the high side.

Overnight futures have been increasingly positive, helped by other world markets. We’re set to open in the 4030/40s… just under green zone.

The more cautious bears will not be taking any positions ahead of the weekend. Some of the bolder bulls will arguably be quietly closing out.
