The December Euro is higher in early electronic trading and hit a fresh contract and all-time high overnight. The Euro finds sell stop orders are likely located just below technical support at the overnight low of 1.4297 and then more stops just below support at 1.4250. Shorter-term technical resistance for the Euro is seen at the overnight contract high of 1.4355 and then at 1.4400. Buy stops likely reside just above those levels.

Gold is trading solidly higher in early dealings today and hit a fresh 11-month high overnight. For December gold, shorter-term technical support is seen at $775.00 and then at the overnight low of $771.80. Sell stops likely reside just below those levels. Buy stops likely reside just above resistance at the overnight high of $782.20 and then just above resistance at $785.00. Today's key near-term Fibonacci support/resistance level: $770.00. Wyckoff's Intra-Day Market Rating: 8.5

CRUDE OIL

Crude oil prices are solidly higher in early electronic dealings and set new highs again overnight. In December crude, look for buy stops to reside just above resistance at the contract high of $92.22 and then just above resistance at $93.00. Look for sell stops just below technical support at the overnight low of $90.20, and then more sell stops just below support at $89.00. Today's key near-term Fibonacci support/resistance level: $89.50. Wyckoff's Intra-Day Market Rating: 9.0

GRAINS

Prices were higher in overnight trading, amid solid gains overnight in the key “outside markets” like gold and crude. The U.S. dollar is also weaker, which is bullish for grains at present. Wheat bears still have some downside technical momentum, and if wheat sees sharp losses today, then corn and soybeans will find gains limited.
