Notes: Healthy strong report exceeding the forecast for both the core and regular CPI readings. This caused a spike upward of 24 ticks, going with the rally trend. It crossed no SMAs, although it shed most of its gains on the latter half of the :01 candle. The initial reversal recovered more ticks than the spike and was achieved in only 5 min. Then it geared up for a slower, but deliberate 2nd peak of 50 ticks in the next 26 min. The final reversal recaptured 23 ticks in 13 min with a triple bottom.
