istantanea
  1. Thursday’s candlestick (Sept 4) was a bull doji closing below the middle of its range with prominent tails.
  2. In our last report, we stated that traders would see if the bears could form a strong retest of the August 29 low, or if the market would trade slightly lower but lack follow-through selling, closing with a long tail below or a bull body, and above the 20-day EMA.
  3. The market traded lower but lacked follow-through selling, closing with a bull body above the 20-day EMA.
  4. The bulls want the 20-day EMA and the bull trend line to act as support.
  5. They want the pullback to be weak and sideways, lacking follow-through selling, as has been the case with all recent pullbacks (Jul 1 and Aug 4).
  6. They want it to form a higher low followed by a reversal from a double bottom bull flag (Aug 21 and Aug 29).
  7. They view the recent move (Sept 4) as a retest of the prior low, and want it to form a higher low (vs Aug 29).
  8. They need to create follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a retest and a breakout above the August high.
  9. The bears want a reversal from a wedge pattern (June 20, July 24, and August 19), and a large double top bar flag with the February high.
  10. They view Sept 3 as a pullback forming a lower high.
  11. They need to create strong follow-through selling, trading below the 20-day EMA and the bear trend line to increase the odds of a sustained move.
  12. If the market trades higher, they want it to form a lower high or a double top (vs Aug 19).
  13. Production for Sept should be flat or down.
  14. Refineries' appetite to buy remains decent.
  15. Export: Sept: TBA
  16. So far, the recent sideways to down pullback has formed a higher low (Aug 29). The 20-day EMA and bull trendline are currently acting as support.
  17. For tomorrow (Monday, Sept 8), traders will see if the bears can form a strong retest of the August 29 low.
  18. Or will the 20-day EMA continue to act as support, and the market trade and close above the 20-day EMA instead?
