Focus into Thu's auction on response to the Breakout Point/Prior Resistance, 51.10s.

  • Early in the NY auction was the filling in of the Buying Tail, 50.50s-50.70s, amidst increasing Sellside Delta, implying the potential for price discovery lower.
  • Initiative sell programs (ISP) at/near 50.70s-50.65s. Downside Reference Levels included Tue's Low, 49.44s.
  • Sellside momentum extreme was achieved at/near 50.35s, noting price extremes usually follow momentum extremes. Ultimately, the market auctioned to 49.60s, near Tue's Low, before halting the downward auction.
