Notes: Report came in 6 pts lower than last month with a reading of 4 along with an large downward previous revision. This occurred just after a large short move in the market of 69 ticks in 10 min and a subsequent pullback. Then the report caused a 9 tick short spike in 15 sec that started just above the S1 Pivot and fell to the LOD. With JOBB, your short entry would have filled at 0.7354 with no slippage, then allowed an exit with about 3-4 ticks of profit where it hovered at the peak just above the LOD. After that it reversed 8 ticks before falling for a double bottom 1 min later. Then it reversed 24 ticks in 3 min to the 20 SMA / S1 Mid Pivot before falling for a triple bottom 4 min later. Then it stepped lower in the next hour due to the continued sentiment from the original short move.
