Reversal to 87.37 – 0521 (21 min)

Notes: More loss of inventory than expected caused a healthy long spike for 55 ticks in 1 min. With JOBB, you would have filled long at about 87.60, then had an opportunity to get at least 30 ticks with ease. As the market had been in a buying mode for the previous hour, it reversed at 88.03 at the R3 Pivot to come back to nick the 200 SMA 20 min later for 66 ticks.
