Other Things to Watch/Open Trades/News

Still Flat but aggressive traders can sell on a test of the 105.00 area;

Looking at the sell side early this week.

Comments

Extra effort by the bulls cleans out stops and makes the 105.00 area in view now. Don’t expect a rally over the 105.00 area to last, need a failure on good volume but rate continues to trade firm; no failure on Friday sets the tone for a test of 105.00 today at some point.

Traders note that the market is still trading technically and expect stops to be run in both directions near-term; expect some volatility. Day traders may get a lot of opportunity as the rate will likely cover a lot of the same ground twice on the hourly time frame.

With rate back under the 104.00 handle expect a bounce from the 103.20/30 area if stops accelerate the move; look to sell that bounce the next 48 hours.
