Our bullish thesis rest on the marked rising support level. Typically markets rally after the mid-terms are settled, but the final count isn’t in.

We’re monitoring these signals closely, but the news cycle is having a greater impact than the technicals right now.

Timing:

Today we’ll get the latest CPI inflation data at 8:30 AM. 

The figure could impact the market more than the election.

Unrelated to the markets … Shout out to the U.S. Marine Corps celebrating 247 years of service today. If you know a Marine, it’s appropriate to wish them a “happy birthday.”
