Unable to crack an 873.50 rally target given here yesterday, the futures spent the day marking time in a 15-point range. They were floating aimlessly higher early Tuesday evening, although a push past a minor midpoint resistance at 871.25 would likely put them on course for a move up to at least 876.25, a Hidden Pivot. This was just little stuff — too meager, perhaps, even for a night-owl snack.
