It is not the rich
man’s son that the young struggler for advancement has to fear in the race for
life, nor his nephew, nor his cousin. Let him look out for the dark horse in
the boy who begins by sweeping out the office.

Economic
News for Tomorrow:

We don’t have
any major economic news on tomorrow’s schedule, which tells us that price-action
will be determined by whatever new developments come out of Russia as well as
any domestic responses to Russia possibly from the White House.

Day
trading plan for Tomorrow:

Crude Oil:

VIP Chart:

Crude Oil VIP Chart

Crude Oil ‘gapped-up’ over Sunday night and into Monday
morning, but by the time we opened here in the US morning session we had
already push up to 105.00 area so most of the day today was sideways in the
US. The volume and the closing-print in
the middle tells us to be patient for more info going into the opening-bell on
Tuesday.

Anchor Chart:

Crude Oil 89 Anchor Chart

We’ve pushed higher above the resistance at 104.34 in today’s
trading session, and it looks like the next resistance level on the 89 anchor
chart is at 107.95, but it’s going to take a small miracle to push another
$2.00 in Tuesday’s session so we will have to wait and see!

Crude Oil 21 Anchor Chart

The 21 anchor on Crude Oil shows us trading higher in a
bullish price channel, and we have a perfect buying opportunity at the 103.25
zone which is also the lows of the bullish price channel. We have a profit-target above us at 105.40
which will be easy profit for the buyers.

Crude Oil 13 Anchor Chart

The 13 anchor chart shows us trading in a sideways,
consolidated market-personality, which is a big change from the bullish price-action
we saw on the slower anchor charts.
Remember, as of 900am EST this morning when this market opened for the
day we had ALREADY pushed higher on Sunday night, which means the US session
was mostly sideways.

Look for selling
opportunities below the 104.00 big-round-number and use the 103.11 buy-zone as
your profit-target.
