Dan, there have been in the past, more up days the day before the 4th than down days..Then the pattern reverses for the day after the 4th. I read a book once that made the comment that usually the day before a holiday, the trades are made by the less informed and that the smart money comes back the day after and reverses it. But your call for a down day Monday could be right..The 60 min charts have not moved down much and need to reset and when the daily charts reset on Monday, most of the indicators will be rolling over...unless we have a gap up..Could do that..All those guys not going to work might just come in and start buying...
