[Laissez Faire]

I usually don`t follow the SPY except occasionally glance on it from my list of quotes, but today I noticed that there seemed to be a discrepancy between the SPY and the ES.

SPY gapped down on the open, has recovered some, but still not closed the gap.

The ES contract is now touching the highs at 1241 and in the green for the day.

Why?

Please enlighten me.

Big kudos for keeping all the bulls at bay, we may get one more sell-off before EOD
