2022.10.04 11:15
December futures initially headed lower as expected testing key 200 week moving average support at 3590/85, but over ran to 3572. We very quickly recovered above 3590 – longs did well reaching targets of 3650/60 and strong resistance at 3700/20.
A high for the day exactly here but yesterday’s bullish engulfing candle suggests a bear squeeze has started.
December tested the important 200 week moving average at 11180/150. A break below 10990 was required for a sell signal but this was the low yesterday.

Remember when support is broken it usually acts as resistance and vice-versa.
