– We have two options on the gold:

o I can buy the breakout above 44.4 looking for profit targets at 46.0, 52.5, and the final target of 57.5 at the highs of the trading range.

o We can also sell short below 1338.0 with targets of 36.4, 33.2, and then all the way down to the big level of support at 26.0 for the final ¼.

Crude Oil Futures:

– Crude oil futures are trading at the lows after the big move down, so im looking to buy these lows

– Entry long will be with a 2-step long entry above 82.23 with profit targets of 32, 44, soft 72, and a hard 95 for the final target at the big round number.

– If we do break the lows below 81.26 im looking to buy the previous low of day at 81.00 looking to capitalize on the bounce off these multiple lows (LOD and PLOD)

Euro Futures:

– EURO Futures got a bumpy start but took off to the downside testing new lows after the 830am announcement from china this morning that made the dollar rise.

– I want to buy these lows, and specifically I want to get in long above the previous low of day above 1.3823.

– Profit targets will be the trend line overhead, 70, and then big round number of 1.3900 for the final ¼ of your position.
