As the year ends, we have a convergence of two long-term trend lines. Above, there is a Resistance line going back to May of 2014.. That’s an 8-month old T-line in SH. Below there is a Support T-line going back to the Oct 1st Contract low. That’s 3 months old. Most technicians believe the older the t-line and the more sigfificant it is. Now Technical analysis is nice. However, if all you needed was technical analysis, there wouldn’t be any cab drivers in Chicago. AT best, it gives you a reason for entering the market. At worse, it gives you a security blanket to add […]

CH has now rallied an impressive 83 ½ cents between the contract low posted October 1st and today’s fresh 5-month high at $4.11.

5.2% correction is just noise-Despite the Financial Cable Folk’s Alarmist Talk
