On Tuesday the market further expanded recent range reversal, after a gap lower opening when trading resumed for the holiday shortened week, and Wednesday’s upside follow through took March to test the zone of resistance between the December and January highs ($4.201 – $4.367). My idea was that a test of that resistance would be an “unlikely event”– I was wrong.
On Wednesday prompt gas posted a new high daily close, $4.280 v $4.258 on 01/16…the highest daily close since 12/30/22 (just before then prompt February ’23 gapped lower to begin the New Year). March extended the rally as high as an after market, Globex trade to $4.476 closing a long – standing gap on the monthly charts left at the beginning of ’23, before a reversal lower. The week’s ending close after another daily gain, $4.243…notably within the resistance previously described, was the highest in twenty – six months.
