/CL futures are trading in a narrow range far above the previous value area again today after buyers pushed price upwards yesterday. Market participants have finally settled around a fair price of about 32, as contracts consolidate. The likelihood that price will breakout in either direction is high today. Wait for the influx of buyers or sellers and ride the wave to the next support/resistance level.

/ES futures are trading within the previous value area after some consolidation in the last few hours. There was a strong push upward overnight, that was rejected with equal and opposite force, indicating strong selling pressure above 2970. As with crude oil, we will await a strong push out of this consolidation from buyers or sellers and expect continuation in that direction.

/6E futures are trading far above the previous value area after a surge upward in price yesterday and somewhat overnight. Previous volume has dried up in the contracts' current area and rejection around 1.098 almost confirms this. Expect downward movement from here, barring any significant news event.

FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures remain in the high 20s. Gamma rose slightly yesterday, and continues to be positive. DIX fell dramatically, as institutional buying was diminished yesterday. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
