/6B futures are trading within a narrow range to the upper portion of the previous value area again this morning. This indicates stronger upward pressure on price, however, the narrow range indicates a new short term consensus on value. Upward pressure remains elevated but lower volume between 1.2446 and 1.2551 could provide some resistance.
FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures remain above 50 as coronavirus cases continue to grow worldwide. Gamma is negative again which will increase the current marketplace volatility. Continue to use lower leverage and always use a stop loss. Support and resistance levels, as always, remain key reference points. Price action around these points will most likely indicate future short term direction.
