below 978 - 977.50 area is bearish. A trade below 964.20 - 960.50
area will reverse the major trend to the downside for lower prices.

Comments:
Monday's trading range
remained inside the neutral area leaving the chart neutral inside the 998
- 983.60 trading range. A trade above 998 - 1000.90 area is slightly
bullish but only a trade above 1007.20 and 1009.40 weekly channels can
bring any solid bullishness back to the chart. A trade below 983.60
is bearish and can bring prices down to challenge the 964.20 channel
support. A trade below 964.20 - 960.50 bottom will fail the major
support that will change the major trend to the downside for lower prices.
Remain defensive inside the 998 - 983.60 trading area.

Comments:
The sell-off on
Wednesday from the resistance area managed to closed the market
down for the third day in a row, which is slightly bearish, but
the market was able to hold above the 983.30 channel support
leaving the chart neutral to slightly bearish. A trade below
983.30 is bearish and can bring prices down to challenge the 978
channel support. A trade below 978 - 976.70 area can bring
prices down to the last major support at 964.20 but will be very
defensive at this time for possible lower prices. A trade
above 989.70 and 992.70 channels is slightly bullish but a trade
above 994.90 and 996.20 channels is bullish and can bring prices
up to challenge the very major resistance at 1007.80 and 1009.40
areas. Remain defensive today inside the first narrow
neutral range between 989.70 and 983.30 and the wider trading
range between 996.20 - 978.

channel (major area) / 948 day gap and 945 day
bottom (very major area).
Comments:
The sell-off on Thursday from the major
resistance area was significant and slightly bearish but it
managed to hold above the support area closing in neutral
territory again. A trade today above the 995.70 - 996.50
area is slightly bullish but only a trade above the 1007.80 -
1009.40 weekly channels can bring any solid bullish back to the
chart. A trade below 985.30 - 984 area is bearish but a trade
below 977.90 - 976.70 area is very bearish and can possibly
be the first major signal of a reversal in the major trend
to the downside. A trade below 964.20 - 960.50 area will
confirm a major downtrend intact for lower prices to follow.
Remain defensive inside the neutral trading area between 996.50
- 985.30 area until the market can prove a solid direction.
Day

Comments:
The sell-off on Friday was a continuation from
Thursday's resistance and managed to close the end of the week lower
then the past four weeks closing prices, leaving the chart in
bearish condition. A trade below 976.60 channel and 973.80
weekly bottom will challenge the 969.50 weekly channel. A
trade below 969.50 is bearish and can prove to be a signal of the
newly developed downtrend. A trade below 960.50 will confirm
the downtrend intact for lower prices. A trade today above
992.50 - 994.20 area is slightly bullish but only a trade above
998.30 - 999.30 major channels can bring any solid bullishness back
to the chart. Remain defensive inside the 989.30 - 976.60
trading range.

Comments:
The rally on Monday reversed the bearish condition
back to a neutral condition. The major trading area is now wide,
between 999.30 and 960.50. The first neutral trading area today is
narrow between the 982.50 - 983 resistance and the 978.80 - 975.60
support. A trade above or below the first neutral area will
challenge the wide major trading area of 999.30 - 960.50. A trade
above 999.30 is bullish and can challenge the 1007.70 and 1014 areas.
A trade above 1014.80 - 1015.80 area will be considered a breakout for
higher prices. A trade below the 978.80 - 975.60 area is slightly
bearish but a trade below 966.70 - 960.50 area will be considered a
signal for a downtrend and lower prices to follow. Remain
defensive inside the neutral areas until a breakout is seen to either
side.

resistance, which still can be considered a selling
opportunity if it gets there. A trade today below
965.50 - 961.80 area is bearish and a trade below the
958.50 double bottom will confirm the downtrend intact

966.60 and 962.80 weekly channel is bearish. A trade below the

follow. Remain defensive inside the 992.80 - 966.60 neutral weekly

Comments:
The rally on
Tuesday managed to close up for the fifth day in a row, but
continues to remain inside the major weekly trading range
between 1000.80 and 966.60. The market is now facing the
992.80 and the 999.30 - 1000.80 channel resistances, which can
possibly put a lid on any further rallies. A trade above
the 1000.80 and also 1004.90 channels will bring solid
bullishness back to the chart for higher prices. A trade
today below 984.50 is slightly bearish but only a trade below
966.60 can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.
Remain defensive inside the 1000.80 - 966.60 major trading range
and the 996.10 - 984.50 first neutral range.

trades: For The Sept. contract -

Comments:
The whiplashing
action on Thursday again proves the neutral condition of the
area. A trade today above 991 - 994.50 is slightly bullish
but a trade and close above 999.30 - 1000.80 will be considered
a breakout for higher prices to follow. A trade below 983
and 978.80 is slightly bearish but a trade below 966.60 will be
considered a failure of the major support for lower prices to
follow. The GBX session opened with a sell-off making a
low at 968 last night. This can possibly prove the
support for this week has been established and a set-up for
higher prices. Remain defensive inside the 994.50 - 978.80
neutral range until a solid direction is established.

Comments:
The neutral
condition that has established over the past few months
is showing signs of technical support. The higher
weekly close also adds to the support for possible higher
prices to develop. A trade above 993.80 is slightly
bullish but a trade above 999.30 and 1003 will be considered
a breakout for higher prices to develop. A trade today
below 986.50 is slightly bearish but a trade below
977.50 will bring the bearishness back to the chart. A
trade below 967.10 will confirm lower prices to follow.
Remain defensive inside the first neutral range between
997.30 and 986.50 area.

confirm the uptrend intact for prices to challenge the

Comments:
The
follow-through rally on Tuesday closed the market up
nine out of ten days in a row, but could not
penetrate the 1003.80 - 1004.90 area leaving the
chart defensive for possible whiplashing before
a solid direction is established. A trade
above 1004.90 monthly channel will be considered a
breakout and a trade above 1013.60 - 1015.80 will
confirm the uptrend intact for higher prices.
A trade today below 993.50 and 988.10 areas is
slightly bearish but only a trade below the 977.50 -
974.70 area can bring any solid bearishness to
the chart. Remain defensive inside the first

Comments:
The whiplashing action
on Wednesday managed to remain inside the
neutral trading range leaving the chart
neutral today inside a narrow trading
range between 1004.90 and 997. A
trade above 1004.90 can bring prices up to
challenge the 1013.60 channel and 1014.80
double top. A trade above 1014.80 -
1015.80 area can bring prices up to
challenge the 1026.10 monthly channel.
A trade today below 997 is slightly
bearish but a trade below the 990.50
channel and gap area can bring prices down
to challenge the 977.50 and 974.70 weekly
channels. Overall, the chart remains
neutral to bullish for possible higher
prices and only a trade below 974.70 can
bring any solid bearishness back to the
chart. Remain defensive inside the
1004.90 - 990.80 trading range.
