A very dull, slow session to start the week on light volume (really dropped off after the first 30 minutes, which had been looking good). The markets gapped up a little and filled and the rest of the morning was pretty dull. We started drifting up over lunch. Both Opening Range plays didn’t work. NASDAQ volume was 1.7 billion shares.

Net ticks: -28 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:
