Result?...

The market opened  this week  at/near  94.45s, balancing, 94s-95.40s, as responsive sell programs re-entered at prior Overhead Supply.



Sell programs drove price lower, breaking down as the market tested Major Structural Support at/near 93s. The market achieved a Stopping Point at 93s as responsive buy programs entered, and the market balanced, 93s-94.50s, during midweek.  

The market encountered sell programs that drove price toward Key Support, breaking down as the Yellen Senate testimony was priced in. The market plunged to 92.50s, only to encounter responsive buy programs and a quick rejection of the low, forming a Structural Buying Tail, 92.50s-92.90s, as price was driven back into prior Balance, 93s-94.50s, closing the week at/near 93.84s, failing to achieve the minimum weekly range expectation. 

Ultimately, this week's auction consisted of continued price discovery lower in search of a Structural Stopping Point Low, which was achieved at/near 92.50s. 

These studies helped inform our subscribers of the development of a normal or Gaussian distribution (D shape), the implications of a successful structural breakout, and destinations in congruence with market structure. While the breakdown did not achieve a minimum weekly expectation, the failure of the market to manifest the statistical expectation in the context of a Structural Buying Tail in this instance alerted to the false breakdown premise, illustrating the asymmetric risk to the sellside at/near the low, following the Buying Tail formation.
