July Heating Oil [HON9>HON9], on the New 10 Day Lows List, gapped lower on today’s open to new two month lows but rallied to close well. Look for a buying opportunity as the breakout (or more accurately “breakdown”) players may be trapped on the wrong side of the market.

July Coffee [KCN9>KCN9], on the Momentum 5 and Pullbacks From Highs Lists, still looks like it has the potential to pivot back in the direction of its breakout. Look for a buying opportunity here.

Volatilty Watch

September Bonds [USU9>USU9] are now on the Volatility Explosions-Low Multiple Days Readings List. Notice that after hitting major new lows, the contract has drifted upward (a). This “orderly” drift has caused volatility to drop off. Look for a shorting opportunity here as the bigger picture trend remains down.

The June D-mark [DMM9>DMM9] remains on the Volatility Explosions — Low Multiple Days Readings List. Continue to watch for a larger-than-normal move (in either direction) as volatility reverts to its mean.

Best of luck with your trading on Wednesday!
