Weekend News 17Aug

03-08Aug Auction

As noted in last week's analysis, focus on response to Balance Area edges, 98.75s/96.55s, was key in this week's auction as selling interest drove price below Major Structural Support, 96.50s toward Jan Support, 95s. Buying interest emerged, driving price aggressively higher back into prior Balance during Fri's auction. Focus on response to last week's  Breakdown Level, 96.50s, for confirmation or negation of the Sellside Auction into this week's auction.
