Another dull session as predicted. Shouldn’t have bothered showing up. Even with a news gap, we couldn’t get any energy going early on with all of the big players out. Volume ended at 1.2 billion NASDAQ shares. Have a great long weekend! Summer is finally over, and now we keep an eye on volume and start to get back to work.

Net ticks: -34 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:
