nq 45 minutes into market open. what's developing?

tough environment today. I don't like what I'm seeing in the open. I like my moves to be snappy and crisp in the morning, and I'm not seeing that even remotely. Very much sideways, with a slight upward slope. My bias at the beginning of the day was short, kind of expecting some buyer exhaustion to take effect, but that hasn't been the case.

We are trickling upward at the moment. More indecision than I am used to seeing at the bell, who knows how long that attitude will stick around. If you managed to buy the low tick on the buy zone then you are doing fine, for strategies that rely on waiting for the market to move, then following it, it has been a choppy day.
