    CL trading is done for today... profits booked, price action is roached out via FOMC blather until tomorrow. Platform shut down, mission accomplished successfully as usual. Nothing more to think about far as markets & charts & trading (aka "work") until next session, then we do it again as usual :cool:

    Demand line (previous support) became resistance on the 1-min chart. Price action is still chop/range with a leaning toward a test of the .80 zone.

    Notice the importance of positioning with airspace to the range low, rather than selling an initial break of the range low. Initial breaks of ranges (other than narrow range consolidation in a defined trend) tend to fail.

    96.97 is likely to ignite a cascade effect to the downside if it trades before 97.06 trades.

    I was surprised to see it defended so strongly.

    ADD: OK, I see there's a micro trend line being defended ahead of the low.
