AS I SEE IT: The market gapped higher on the regular session open and continued to rally until the last 15 minutes of trading. It did pull back a little at that time. Volume was very light so the market was pushed up easily. The market has had a three day rally so I’ll be watching market momentum to see if it can continue or if it is going to sell off again.
HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!
