Our 30-minute VIP chart shows us
trading at the PHOD this morning and a very narrow trading-range coming out of London. These are two very important clues that we
will use this morning.

First, trading at the PHOD suggests the buyers see value in prices above
the highs from yesterday. We don’t always know WHY these buyers are
pushing higher, but the fact of the matter is the PHOD is a clear signal that
the market sentiment is bullish this morning.
If we break and close above the PHOD on the 5m chart we will consider
buying pullbacks up to a profit-target at 110.07.

If we break and close above the PHOD on the 5m chart we will consider
buying pullbacks up to a profit-target at 110.07.
We will also keep a close eye on the fake-out-breakout around the PHOD. With today’s Non-Farm Payroll news at 830am EST we may see a
sharp price-reversal after that news is released and we may be selling short
back below the PHOD with a profit-target at the trend-line support and a runner
at the PLOD of 107.13.

Second, we see a narrow trading-range coming out of London, which is not very typical, and it
makes us think about what the markets may be ‘waiting for’ this morning ahead
of the opening-bell. We typically see a
$1.00 trading-range from London and this morning we have less than $0.75 of a
move which suggests the markets are waiting on something later this
morning. We can assume the Non-Farm
Payroll news report coming out later this morning is what people are waiting
for.

bullish trend, buying with the Wave pattern on the way up to 110.07 and beyond.

| Crude Oil PIT Session Levels |
Beware, today is a day that many professional traders watch from the sidelines. Similar to an FOMC Day, or OPEX-Friday, today
is going to be much different price-action than we normally see.
It’s difficult to predict where we are going ahead of this Non-Farm
Payroll news at
8:30am EST, but one thing is for certain, we must stay patient to wait for this
news to be released and then ‘digested’ by the market before we go entering
into trades.

| Marty’s Crude Oil PIT Direction |
The most important thing to remember this morning is to wait for at least
10-minutes after the news is released to let the market make ‘sense’ of the report. Don’t rush into the markets today, wait for
the clear new short-term trend after 8:30am EST and trade in that direction.
