The futures were moving timidly higher Monday night, probing blindly for resistance. Since the rally comes off a low that exceeded our 863.00 target yesterday by nearly three points, we can only infer that this is not an episode destined for glory. Even so, it threatened to lift a Hidden Pivot resistance at 873.50, and thence perhaps to set the curtains ablaze overnight. I suggest judging the buyers’ tenacity on the basis of whether minor thrusts on the 5-minute chart are able to pop past two prior peaks without a bend.
