| Euro VIP Chart |
The Euro traded to new highs on Monday in a narrow trading-range
on light volume caused by the US Holiday.
We can see the closing-print occurred near the lows of the day, which
suggests that an open below the 3563 will result in a selloff down to 3545, and
possibly the lows from last Friday at 3526.
If we open inside yesterday’s trading-range we will have to wait and see
who grabs control of the price-action at the opening-bell at 820am EST:

| Gold VIP Chart |
Gold traded lower on Monday, closing near the lows of the
session on very light volume and a narrow trading-range. This type of price-action suggests that the
sellers took control late in the session on Monday, so an opening-print this
morning at 820am EST below the 1275.1 will have traders shooting for targets
below at 1272.0, 1267.5 and 1263.0. Look
for a change in the direction if we open today above 1289.3 with a target of
1293.4 if the buyers take control. Furthermore,
we know the debt agreement is on the way most likely, which will be very
bearish for Gold Futures, we will be watching the developments in Washington
closely this morning.

| Crude Oil VIP Chart |
Crude Oil traded higher on Monday morning on very light
volume and in a typical trading-range.
We can see the closing-print on Monday afternoon ended the session near
the highs, which was also near the middle of the weekly trading-range, and
suggests that buyers may grab control this morning at the 900am EST opening-bell. Look for an opening-print above the PHOD of
102.62 for another bullish trading session, and also look for a potential
reaction this morning to the developments coming out of Washington. If we continue to hear rumors of a solution
at the White House Crude Oil and other commodities will certainly rise, and we
will start buying along with it. As
always, we will look for clues at 900am EST when the opening-bell rings.
