Eurodollar Dec Contract (EC, ETF: (FXE, UUP))
Dipping just a little bit deeper Wednesday under Tuesday’s 1.1295 low down to 1.1283 wasn’t necessary to allow a credible recovery to begin. But it coincided with lifting the embargo on the Fed Chair’s noon prepared remarks, triggering a surge to 1.1400. RSIs had diverged positively at the low, so the burden of proof is now on sellers.

Gold Dec Contract (GC, ETF: (GLD))
Still needing a second consecutive lower close to confirm, Wednesday morning’s flat ranging spiked up through 1215.00 to attack 1228.00 when the embargo was lifted on the Fed Chair’s noon prepared remarks. Closing back under the 1220.50 sell signal keeps alive the potential for retracing the rest of the spike and resuming the decline.

Silver Dec Contract (SI, ETF: (SLV))
Gapping up Wednesday to 14.15 reacted eventually by spiking up to 14.35 as the embargo was lifted on the Fed Chair’s noon prepared remarks. Closing under 14.32 keeps alive the downside momentum, so that any initial weakness Thursday would be likely to extend down.

30-year Treasury Dec Contract (US, ETF: (TLT))
A muted reaction to lifting the embargo on the Fed Chair’s noon prepared remarks Wednesday continued hovering at or above the 139-22 sell signal that has held as support since first being tested Monday morning, becoming less likely to break lower.

Crude Oil Jan Contract (CL, ETF: (USO, USL) (UWTI-long, DWTI-short))
Wednesday’s inside day doesn’t undermine the potential for Tuesday’s gap fill of Friday’s low close to begin forming a durable bottom. The restrained optimism helps from a contrarian perspective to give any fresh low a benefit of the doubt for recovering to continue forming a bottom.

Natural Gas Jan Contract (NG, ETF: (UNG, UNL))
Firming Wednesday after Tuesday had failed to confirm Monday’s break was recovered through the 4.44 buy signal AND its 4.63 confirmation. The pullback is resolving up and targeting fresh highs above 5.00. This does qualify as greeting Thursday’s EIA report from a position of strength.
