Notes: Moderate gain in supply and small offset of the forecast caused a strong long reaction. This is the opposite reaction to the report as expected, but more than likely due to the bounce of the 95.17 level a few minutes before the report which was a test of a low not seen since December. With JOBB you would have filled long and been stopped on the small reversalIt sliced through all three major SMAs along with the S1 Pivot with ease. The reversal came back to the 200 SMA to just nick it.
