ES filled in the thinly traded areas from Friday and buyers had control with a swift rejection of the overnight low after tagging it. Friday's high was broken and some forcing action above there saw responsive selling step in to return to VPOC at the close.

Volume was low for the year at 1.74m contracts in ES though relatively higher on NYSE with 4.29bn shares trading. First day of month cash buyers.

Friday's high and yesterday's VPOC are the short term bull/bear zone for today (1931.00-33.00).
