What's the deal with the futures always drifting higher?

Its an old + extended bull market, can get older + more extended;

Good observation on a bull market

 

The midnight rally crew is still active.

Gap play is still at work. Only TF has closed its gap.

Up day Friday?

 

Cork pop! Champagne flowing. We have closed the gap. Score one for the TA wonks!
