Follow through on yesterday's bullish hammer reversal bar, but overall the session was a choppy snooze fest ahead of the jobs data tomorrow morning. For the second day running, we have been getting the bulk of the buying in the tail end of the session. Seems that there may be some program buying late in the day and selling into the open.
