Through the prior close…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Monday’s flat open resolved up through the afternoon, closing at session highs. Actually, you haven’t heard that one. Not in a while. Yesterday’s intraday action deviated from the pattern of failed gap up. But it still was contained within the two-week range. And volatility wasn’t substantial, even after getting past the dry cleaners morning.

Overnight action’s new info…
Ending the day testing 2478.00 was not improved upon, and there was no thought of it. Price immediately dived to attack 2475.00, and later spiked down to 2473.50. The balance of the night has been firming, so far attacking 2477.00..

If, then…
Monday’s close left the market its best opportunity for a breakout of the recent range. Closing at its upper-end, after a session of mostly restrained optimism. And now the overnight action’s pessimism has neutralized any optimism. As much as the contrarian perspective is ready to go, the ongoing pattern of intraday ranging hasn’t yet let go.
