Recap Intervention effect mostly erased by Thursday. Yet, after 100% absolute range established, NQ found the excuse to go higher and closed the week above midpoint and previous week close.
Outlook Quarterly option expiration this week. Will be very messy as central banks and governments have messed up the markets badly. Making difficult to read the intention of the market makers on where they would like to land the indices on Friday.
