THE SHORT-TERM MODEL ARGUES FOR A DOWNTREND, HOLDING TRAPPED LONG AND SHORT OVER THE WEEKEND

I have no idea about the next Tuesday, but the bigger picture as I discussed in the last night report should be clear now as we do get enough price overlap proving what we had so far was (is) merely a rebound. Although till now I cannot exclude the possibility of another push up to at least test the Aug 31 highs but a red Non Farm Payroll day arguing for a possible trend shifting to down from up, should be enough to raise a red flag.

Enjoy your long weekend.
