SPX +55.29, 7,730, bull flag bounced above the HOLD.  First close above 7,700 since August 19.  Breadth was mixed as decliners led on the NYSE while advancers led on the NASDAQ exchange.  The VIX made its second lowest close in 7 months.  RUT 3,014 bounce after an 8-day bull flag pattern.

SPX advancers: CRM CRWD VEEV SNPS PANW NOW FTNT NVDA DDOG ADSK.
