The markets gapped up and sold off to fill the gaps quickly and the rest of the session was a flat joke with one dip lower very briefly. Opening Range plays worked great, and with the low 10-day TRIN moving average, the short direction was very high probability after the gap up. NASDAQ volume was 1.45 billion shares.

Net ticks: +14.5 ticks.
