SCHATZ TECHS: (H5) Resistance Is Intact For Now

Feb-25 06:21
  • RES 4: 107.081 61.8% retracement of the Dec 2 ‘24 - Jan 15 bear leg  
  • RES 3: 107.045 High Feb 3 and a key resistance     
  • RES 2: 106.975 High Feb 10 
  • RES 1: 106.855 High Feb 12 / 21 and a key near-term resistance         
  • PRICE: 106.805 @ 05:57 GMT Feb 25   
  • SUP 1: 106.630 Low Feb 20 and a key near term support 
  • SUP 2: 106.600 Low Jan 31
  • SUP 3: 106.515 Low Jan 30 
  • SUP 4: 106.435 Low Jan 15 and a bear trigger   

A bull cycle that began Jan 15 in Schatz futures remains in play, marking the pullback from the early February highs as corrective - for now. However, recent weakness also highlights a bear threat and support to watch lies at 106.630, the Feb 20 low. Clearance of this level would resume a bear cycle and signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, initial firm resistance to watch is 106.855, the Feb 12 and 21 high. A break would be bullish.
