Nov Contract Ready to Retire

Daily Continuous

Am headed to visit my granddaughter tomorrow and that will prevent my from writing a Daily for Thursday — but no issues as most of you know my attitude about the market either side of expiration. I do not trade the market as it is suspect to trade variances and influence not helpful to technical analysis. What I will leave you with is watch the ranges — especially the soon to develop range in the Dec contract over the next two days.

Major Support: $3.06, $3.00-$2.97, $2.843, $2.727, $2.648
Minor Support : $3.16
Major Resistance: $3.39, $3.62, $3.80-$3.85, $4.168, $4.461,

Dec Premium Reduced

Daily Continuous

Discussed the premium being afforded in the Weekly and the market chose to narrow that yesterday as the prompt rallied and Dec basically went nowhere (down during the morning). For this reason my suggestion is to watch the Dec price action and should it establish a “flooring” behavior build some positions accordingly. If you are negative in bias then play the spread to Jan accordingly.

Major Support: $3.06, $3.00-$2.97, $2.843, $2.727, $2.648
Minor Support : $3.16
Major Resistance: $3.39, $3.62, $3.80-$3.85, $4.168, $4.461,

Should Be Interesting Expiration

Daily Continuation

For many of the ideas highlighted and discussed in the Weekly section — This week should provide some valuable information on bias how November will trade with the Dec as prompt. Continue to look for the ranges that develop especially with the Dec contract.

Major Support: $3.06, $3.00-$2.97, $2.843, $2.727, $2.648
Minor Support : $3.16
Major Resistance: $3.39, $3.62, $3.80-$3.85, $4.168, $4.461,

A Slight Bias Moderation

Weekly Continuation

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.

Gains Hold

Daily Continuous

Price gains of the last three days held firm yesterday before the storage data release. While not establishing a higher high (above the Sept high), the action provided some support for the recent run, creating the potential base for further gains. The response will likely be established after the release.

Major Support: $3.06, $3.00-$2.97, $2.843, $2.727, $2.648
Minor Support : $3.16
Major Resistance: $3.39, $3.62, $3.80-$3.85, $4.168, $4.461,

Prices Continue to Rock in Late Trade

Daily Continuous

Price action was somewhat subdued during the trade day, extending Monday’s gains but I am startled to see the late action extend prices even higher. My fundamental friends will tell me that the forecast showed some cooler weather in either the long term or immediate forecasts, which is fine — I am just going to mention that prices are now starting to challenge the high end of the range (continuous chart above) from September’s trade. Will wait to see how this adventure turns out before calling the bias.

Major Support: $3.06, $3.00-$2.97, $2.843, $2.727, $2.648
Minor Support : $3.16
Major Resistance: $3.39, $3.62, $3.80-$3.85, $4.168, $4.461,

Forecasts ?

Daily Continuous

Read in the press that the rally yesterday was all about the weather forecasts that modified cooler over the weekend. Oh–Ok. Perhaps that had something which added to the technical indication which showed another test of support at the low end of the range — only to fail. Yes, the weather issues may have provided the gasoline to force the shorts to cover– but the volume and price movement is more of a convincing argument to this analysis. The range for the Nov contract has likely been established.

Major Support: $3.06, $3.00-$2.97, $2.843, $2.727, $2.648
Minor Support : $3.16
Major Resistance: $3.19, $3.39, $3.62, $3.80-$3.85, $4.168, $4.461,

Clueless on Direction

Daily Continuous

Can’t explain and won’t try– as discussed in the Weekly section the price declines took prices down below support with technical expectations alerting additional declines. OOOOpps as prices gaped opened Sunday night — I have no clue why only offer to trade the range that has remained.

Major Support: $3.06, $3.00-$2.97, $2.843, $2.727, $2.648
