via The Daily

As noted in Wed's analysis, focus on response to 52.50s was key in Thu's auction as selling interest drove price lower toward the Daily 1st Std Dev Low where buying interest entered, driving the market aggressively higher toward the Key Breakdown Area/Prior Support, 52.40s. Focus on response to the Selling Tail, 52.70s-52.05s, into Fri's auction.

Noted here (highlighted in yellow) during Thu's auction was the Globex development of the Gap Lower open and its implication of lower prices into the NY auction based on the market generated data. Initiative sell programs (ISP) entered at/near 50.60s-50.55s, within this context, driving price lower, achieving the Stopping Point Low, 49.81s, near our Daily 1st Std Dev Low expectation. This level offered asymmetric potential as support, based on the market generated data. Responsive buy programs (RBP) entered, confirming the support, developing a Structural Buying Tail, 49.80s-50.05s, implying the potential for price discovery higher in short covering inventory adjustment. Initiative buy programs (IBP) entered, ultimately driving price higher toward the prior overhead Supply Cluster, 52.60s-53.30s.
