mentioned Tuesday night, sold off sharply on Wednesday but began to rally off
its lows (creating a possible Turtle Soup Plus One-Setup–follow-through to the
downside will be key here.  Bonds stopped their recent slide but it’s too
early to call a setup here. And the energies remain choppy.

The December

stalled out at a key resistance level and may offer a
shorting opportunity but only for the nimble daytrader.

rallying from lows. Look for a buying opportunity here but don’t overstay your

remains a low-volatility situation. Watch for a
larger-than-normal move (in either direction) as volatility reverts to its mean.

December gold

has also had low 6/100 HV readings for quite some
time. Watch for a larger-than-normal move (in either direction) as volatility
reverts to its mean.

Best of luck with
your trading on Thursday!
