Rally back from the Friday lows likely a Head-Fake; double –top has formed and a strong sell signal suggests a potential short is now confirmed at the 105.00/50 area again. Today’s test of the highs stalls on light volume just under the 100 bar MA. Late sell-off significant as longs likely threw in the towel.

Stops above 104.30 area drove trade today; they are gone so look for the rate to rotate lower overnight. Rate has broken trend line support and Tuesday’s attempt to score a high over the 104.00 handle may be the test of the trend line break.

Traders note that the market continues to trade technically and expect stops to be run in both directions near-term; some of which likely happened overnight Tuesday. Continue to expect more volatility. Looking for the rate to briefly follow through higher for a short-covering rally through Tuesday but fall harder into mid week; likely under the 103.00 handle.

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. Stops could be in size at the 102.50/80 area. Resistance at 104.80 area remains significant now and rallies should be sold.
