Looking Ahead to Today by Reflecting Back at Monday’s Price Action
FINANCIALS:
Higher closes Monday for the Eurodollars and bonds while lower for the notes. All of the indices are still in up-trends long term but the bonds and notes are at or near critical areas to hold while in small BEAR PENNANTS.
ENERGIES:
Higher closes for natural gas while lower for crude and heating oil along with the rbob. The crude made its lowest low and close since early October again while heat is still in a BEAR PENNANT. The rbob made a new recent low close also. Natural gas made its highest high and close in 1 1/2 months. I am holding a Buy Signal on Natural Gas.
