Result?...

As noted in the inferential analysis, the buyside continuation & challenge of the Major Structural Resistance, 97.50s, did occur as the market auctioned higher early in the week, achieving the Weekly Stopping Point, 97.20s, at/near the Weekly 1st Std Dev High, 97.08s. 


Following the Stopping Point, the Balance Phase, 95s-96.80s, developed for most of the remainder of the week. The Balance Phase continued into Friday's Globex session, where the initiated selling entered the market, driving price lower out of Balance, beginning a sellside Directional Phase, achieving the Stopping Point, 93.40s, at/near the Weekly 2nd Std Dev Low, 93.90s. The market developed the Balance Phase, 93.40s-94.00s, before the order flow sequence shifted buyside and the market began a substantial short covering rally & inventory adjustment phase driving price back up the entire Globex & Pit session ranges, closing at/near 96s.

These studies helped inform our subscribers of the Significant Structural Resistance from 96s-97.50s facing the market coming into this week. Following a multi-week buyside auction of almost $10 off the Key Structural Support, probability favored the potential development of a Structural Stopping Point and Balance Phase. Additionally, knowledge of both the key Structural & Statistical Levels provided quantifiable, potential destinations and strategy (range trade during Balance, short positions early Friday closed near Structural & Statistical Supports) in congruence with the market structure.
