Notes: Report was matching overall with the BLDG Permits slightly falling short and the Housing starts slightly exceeding the forecast. This caused a muted 4 tick short move that eclipsed the 100/200 SMAs, then pulled back. With JOBB, you would have filled short at 0.009580 with no slippage, then seen it get stuck between breakeven and -1 tick for most of the bar. Due to the matching report and strong support barrier, look to exit with 1 tick loss. After the peak, it reversed for 12 ticks in 6 min and another 8 ticks 30 min later, as it crossed the R1 Mid Pivot. Then it fell back to the 200 and PP Pivot 15 min later.
