Summary

Yesterday saw considerable chop, leaning on the weaker side. S/t momentum settled on the moderately lower side.

Overnight futures have been leaning on the weaker side, pressured by other world markets. First support is the lower hourly bollinger at 3666. Even orange gap looks a stretch, as the market holds a long series of higher highs and higher lows.

Its Tuesday, and that will offer a turnaround, not least from 11am onward. The 3700s appear very much due.
