Although September Copper [HGU9>HGU9], on the Pullbacks Off Highs List, closed poorly, the overall trend remains up. Look for a buying opportunity here.

Volatility Watch

The September Dmark [DMU9>DMU9] and Swiss Franc [SFU9>SFU9], both on the Volatility Explosions-Multiple Days List, gapped open and rallied earlier today but both reversed to close poorly. Because the longer term trend remains down, look for a possible shorting opportunity as volatility reverts to its mean.

Best of luck with your trading on Wednesday!
