Two days of hard selling pushed the November contract down to the green line (x=66.97), triggering a ‘mechanical’ buy (stop 64.41) that should be good for a one-level ride, at least, to p=69.52.

Election-year tampering could suppress whatever rally is coming, however, along with extraordinary complacency in the face of possible war in the Middle East or Europe.
