Eurodollar Dec Contract (EC, ETF: (FXE, UUP))
Tuesday’s gap down back under the 1.1265 sell signal proved that Monday’s ranging around the 1.1300 prior high had held. But a second consecutive lower close Wednesday is needed for confirmation.
Gold Dec Contract (GC, ETF: (GLD))
Tuesday gapped down under a three-day consolidation that had ranged around 1341.50. Critical support at 1329.00 was tested by mid-morning, and still being tested through the afternoon.

Tuesday’s gap down retraced Monday’s recovery of Friday’s plunge. Filling the gap back down to Friday’s 44.55 close does neutralize its attraction below, but it’s not a buy signal. Closing back above 45.00 would signal the rally is resuming. There’s otherwise risk in even the most bullish pattern for a detour to 42.25.
Natural Gas Nov Contract (NG, ETF: (UNG, UNL))
Tuesday’s flat-to-higher firming didn’t reject Monday’s bounce from Friday’s test of “lower prior highs.” But Tuesday’s firming was too shallow to confirm a reversal underway. Nevertheless, almost any initial strength Wednesday would be credible for extending higher intraday
