Yesterday S&P 500 futures (ES) had another up day with relatively low volume. Currently it is testing the gap resistance between 3310–3340. The character of the current movement is similar to what happened in Nov 2019, where S&P 500 inched up gradually with low supply level and low volatility until Jan 2020. Will that happen again?
