Pre-close View… Anticipation.

Still hovering at session highs.

The noon hour’s dip to 2157.25 was recovered back to the morning’s 2162.00 high. And no higher. It was touched as the final hour was entered. Its timing only reflects stronger buyers than sellers, which should marginalize sellers, but doesn’t require trending any higher.

Still, higher is where there is unfinished business, at this morning’s 2163.75 bias-up target, and last week’s 2168.00 “new Globex trend extreme.”

The 3:10-3:20 timing window is now probing even higher. That still wouldn’t require any specific behavior before the close, but the greater vulnerability remains up.
