The markets gapped down and went lower, although most of the action was in the first 30 minutes as people are still recovering from the long weekend. Wednesday should pick up. We had awesome Opening Range plays to start the week. See that section below. NASDAQ volume closed at only 1.45 billion shares.

Net ticks: +30 ticks.
