October Sugar [SBV9>SBV9], mentioned last night and on the Pullbacks Off Highs List, formed a bullish outside day today (a) and appears to be headed higher. Continue to look for a buying opportunity here.

The December British Pound [BPZ9>BPZ9], on the Pullbacks Off Highs List, hit new 10 day lows today but reversed to close well. This suggests its uptrend is still intact. Look for a buying opportunity here.

December Copper [HGZ9>HGZ9], mentioned recently, appears to be rallying out of a pullback. Look for a buying opportunity here.

For you breakout players, the October energies: Crude Oil [CLV9>CLV9], Heating Oil [HOV9>HOV9] and Unleaded Gasoline [HUV9>HUV9] are all at or flirting with life-of-contract highs. Until proven otherwise, it appears the trend remains up here. Look for buying opportunities.

Volatility Watch

December Gold [GCZ9>GCZ9] is now on the Volatility Explosions — Multiple Days List. Watch for a larger-than-normal move (in either direction) as volatility reverts to its mean.

Best of luck with your trading on Thursday!
