Nasdaq Futures Retrace

Each evening we
focus on the most interesting aspects for the upcoming
trading day. The comments are based on observations of the
nightly updates of the Futures and Market Bias pages. They

that these remarks are made up to 12 hours in advance of the

outcome of these observations.


There’s not much to look at tonight. Juice, mentioned Tuesday night, rallied
on Wednesday but closed off of its highs. Obviously, the energies have come back
to life, but so far, haven’t offered any entries. Sugar, mentioned recently as a
short, reversed on Wednesday.  

Although the December Nasdaq futures

were up on Wednesday, so far, they appear to be in retrace mode at
best. Therefore, look for a shorting opportunity on any resumption of weakness.
