Looking Ahead to Friday by Reflecting Back on Thursday’s Price Action

FINANCIALS:

Lower closes yesterday for the eurodollar, notes and bonds again helped by the indices closing sharply higher. The eurodollar is still in a strong uptrend while the bonds have not been acting well lately and are close to a sell signal but not quite with 11520 area basis the September contract being important to hold. The notes also are close to a sell with the buy signal still in tact at this time. Long term, however, is still down for both the notes and bonds.
