Not a whole lot of technical data points to discuss in this range bound market. Discussed the historical aspect of January trade in the Weekly Section and highly recommend you review it. The market is likely to test the high end of the recent range and that will likely bring out sellers.

Apologies for the server meltdown yesterday but just was discussing the continuation of the recent range between $2.40 — $2.62 regardless of the discount afforded to Feb as the new prompt. No reason to change expectations and would just like to pass on sincere wishes for a prosperous 2024.

Can’t remember a Holiday period so quiet — sometimes the swings can be quite dramatic with the light trade — not so much last week and yesterday. This is now the first month’s expiration with a price discount in the upcoming prompt that we have had in a while. Don’t think it means or creates any major opportunity for the trade. Suggest letting Jan run a quiet expiration and evaluating afterward.

Will be another bearish report for the market but not a surprise as the market sold off last week based upon the weather forecasts and the decline of demand associated with the mild weather. Still looks like the market wants to consolidate between $2.30-$2.60 for the remainder of the Jan contract. One element that may adjust that range is a short covering rally that breaks above to high end of the trading range. Not sure what would prompt that event.
Due to the Christmas Holiday this will be the last Daily until the 27th as I will be traveling. Best wishes to all of you in this coming period.
Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766

Major Resistance $2.786-$2.865, $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65
Prices tested the lows from last Friday and rebounded– perhaps the first glimpse of additional consolidation coming. Volumes will continue to lighten through the week as holiday vacations come through.
Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766

January spiked lower and did so with more than a million contracts changing hands last week. The last time that so many contracts traded (1,003,611) was 03/10/20 (1,039,442), before that 1,602,673 on 11/14/18 (the highest volume ever traded in a day). The only other three day period when so many contracts traded was during March ’20.
Extraordinary volume days…they are obviously pretty rare, are often indications of capitulation by one side or the other when the market has been moving steadily higher or lower. Needless to say, last week’s volume achieving a lower low before rebounding back to where prices started the week (more on that in the Weekly section). It’ll be fun and interesting this week.
Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $2.45-$2.47, $2.786-$2.865, $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65
The chart above is from yesterday as I have lost my software to bring you the latest chart data. The market did close a little higher yesterday, not challenging the gap from Monday. Trade should be patient here until the price action defines itself.

Go into the reason for the $2.45-$2.47 being a critical area for the near term bias of prices in the Weekly section. I do find it interesting that this is the area the late Sunday night traded to.— Shocking. Spend the time to read the Weekly (less than 3 minutes). Other than that — lets see if we get a near term bias shift.
