Tuesday's Auction 

As noted in Tue's analysis, focus on response at Key Structural Support, 74.30s-74s, was key in Wed's auction as selling interest drove price to Major Structural Support, 73.30s, where buying interest entered, developing Balance in spite of "bearish" EIA and OPEC production cut conjecture. Focus on response to Balance, 73.30s-74.30s, into Thu's holiday shortened Globex session. Price volatility may be exacerbated due to holiday thin liquidity. OPEC announce Thu.
