Let's Do the Limbo

In front of the Fed Minutes later today, equities are trying to fight off one of the weaker overnight futures' sessions we have seen in a few weeks. Small caps are flipping green as I write this, as IWM continues to hold over the $160 level, frustrating bears playing for a more meaningful pullback.  A main reason why small caps are so resilient...
