Some reversal earlier in the calendar month (from $3.585 on 10/02 that was confirmed by another reversal from $3.550 on 10/08 for a third time this week’s high was $3.572 and that’s a classic test of and failure at well – defined resistance looks like.
Volume on those three tests of $3.550 – $3.590 has been remarkably similar: 672,699 – 643,006 – 639,225…higher than any other of the trading days during November’s tenure except 10/20 on the gap day. Notwithstanding that a chunk of the 797,173 contracts traded was the result of some folks buying back contracts they had sold short, the gap and the volume spike strongly suggest a high volume low. When November traded into the 10/20 range and tested the 20 – week SMA, (currently the value of that moving average is $3.198, Friday’s low $3.200) it reversed higher, ending the week on a strong note.
