The markets gapped down and were mixed in terms of direction (ES versus the NASDAQ) for the second day in a row. Ultimately, the NASDAQ side filled the gap. Opening Range plays were mixed and we had a small winner on the ES from another call. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.8 billion shares.
Net ticks: +6.5 ticks.
