We are steadily building value since the pit open above yesterday's vpoc, and since inventories are trading above yesterday's VAH. Value is clearly up. Even though I feel a drop may need to happen to shake out weak longs, so far objectively, IMO, value is building to the upside. Also, trading above VWAP entire day, and well above weekly VWAP. add: further, we are trading above yesterday's pit high, and the settlement.

I'm gonna try the ES too. Post your positions on the ES aquarian, could help

Attachment 48761

Crude oil inventories had a reduction of -4.0M which could help the price of crude above the 90's. The double bottom on the 4H and 1H chart should help the drive up, but for how long?

CL 11-11 is now trading between 89.85 to 90.40.

I have a target @ 90.74

Inventory data could be a head-fake ...

I noticed, I still don't understand that move down. That was from 90.23 high to low 88.63, a $1.60 move, 100% re-tracement.

The quote above is just my opinion--but it really doesn't matter, hey, who knows why these things happen, but the fact is that buyers have dominated all week long. This is a strong market. Today CME will probably report officially 320K contracts or so by the close, and we have a 160 tick range down bar for the day (if it does not surpass the high or low). In Wyckoff's words, 'lots of effort, very little result.' In my book this is very bullish. We settled above 89, and are well above the weekly VWAP. Four times sellers tried to break below the daily pivot and yesterday's vwap (both value), and all four times failed. If I were position trading, I would feel long still until we get down below the 87.00 area.
