We were looking for volume to pick up with the Holiday behind us and we didn’t get it. In fact, after a bad volume number early (but slightly better than Monday after the first hour), NASDAQ volume closed at 1.45 billion shares, worse than Monday’s total. Once again, we had nice winners with the Opening Range plays in the ES and NQ, but the light action prevented us from making additional calls.

Net ticks: +0 ticks.

As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:
