first mission called ‘Project Mercury’ which was our first manned

Economic News for Tomorrow:
Thursday brings a lot MORE Red-Star News events our way, which will keep the
volatility going strong as we push into the end of the week.

14. We begin this evening in Australia with the Labour Force Report, which is very
similar to our Non-Farm Payroll report in the US. This is Red-Star News, so be
ready for some action in the overnight session.
Tomorrow morning we hear from China’s Merchandise Trade Balance bright and
early (they say 12am, but it may be as late at 2:00am EST). This is also Red-Star
News, which will get the European Session moving well tomorrow.
We hear from the Bank of England tomorrow morning right before we begin the
US morning session. Look for the announcement from the BOE shortly after
7:00am EST tomorrow morning.
We have 8:30am EST Jobless Claims tomorrow morning to start the US morning
session, so we will be excited to trade that reaction to the news in our Live Trade
Room!
Later in the day on Thursday we will see the March 2014 Oil Report released from
OPEC, which will be used on Friday.
Trading opportunities for Tomorrow:
Crude Oil:
Yesterday on Crude Oil we discussed buying on the way up to
the 103.50 area, which is exactly what happened today.
Crude Oil VIP Chart:

15. Crude Oil was a bit slow at the opening-bell this morning, but after we heard from
the Inventory report at 10:30am EST we saw the buyers enter the market and we
began buying pullbacks on the way to the 103.50 area.
We see a lot of bullish clues on the VIP chart, but the volume down at the lows
tells us this afternoon push higher MAY not last. We will be watching the
opening-bell tomorrow to see if that is the case.
Crude Oil 64 Anchor Chart:
We have tested the sell-zone at 103.85 to 103.07 this evening, which tells us that
sellers are going to be entering the market this evening and tomorrow.
Remember, we have the Oil Report tomorrow night from OPEC, so a price-
reversal may take another 24-hour.
Crude Oil 16 Anchor Chart:
Crude Oil pushed right into the highs of our bullish price channel this evening,
which tells us that buyers will be taking profit, and the sellers will likely try to push
this off the highs.
Our plan for Crude Oil is to look for short term selling
opportunities off these highs, using the buy-zones below us as
profit-targets.
We will then be looking for buying opportunities at 102.90, 102.40, 101.85 and
100.74 with profit-targets above us at 104.21, the 105.00 big-round-number, and
105.65.

16. Gold:
Yesterday on Gold we called a trade to buy @ 1303.0, and we
are ¾ of the way to our profit-target @ 1316.6.
Gold VIP Chart:
Gold continues to ‘wait’ for something this week with narrow trading-ranges and
very slippery price-action in the US Session. The biggest issue facing Gold traders
in the US right now is that most of the bigger moves in price are happening
overnight in the Asian and London trading sessions because there is so much
going on in the ECB that applies to Gold.
Gold 64 Anchor Chart:
Not much has changed on our 64-anchor chart of Gold futures this evening.
We’ve had very narrow ranges this week, which tells us this market is waiting on
SOMETHING. As professional traders, we don’t care what they are waiting on, but
we must stay patient to wait for better price-action as the week develops.
Gold 16 Anchor Chart:
Gold has been sluggish this week, but when you open our 16-anchor chart you
can clearly see the bullish price channel that was hard to define on the other
anchor charts, giving us buying opportunities on Gold at 1308.3 and 1304.2 with
profit-targets above us at the highs of the price channel, as well as 1320.0 and
1325.1.

17. Our plan on Gold is to keep buying pullbacks on the way
higher to the top of this bullish price channel.
Mini-Russell :
Yesterday on Mini-Russell we called a breakout trade above
1147.0, and we have reached the profit-target @ 1156.5
Mini-Russell VIP Chart:
The Mini-Russell finally broke out of the range from the last 48-hours, and pushed
into the range from last Friday’s Non-Farm Payroll report that pushed the prices
lower.
Keep an eye on the previous week’s highs up at 1190.4
because if the Mini-Russell continues to be strong that is
where we will be targeting for the buying opportunities.
Mini-Russell 64 Anchor Chart:
The buyers are going to have a challenge to re-test last week’s highs because we
can easily see a resistance zone overhead at 1158.2 up to 1165.9 which may keep
the price from moving drastically higher in tomorrow’s session. We will be
looking for clues at 1158.2 to see if the sellers enter the market for a price-
reversal and selling opportunities to following tomorrow’s trading session.

18. Mini-Russell 16 Anchor Chart:
If you’re looking for buying opportunities you don’t need to look any further than
the 16-anchor chart of Mini-Russell this evening. We can see higher-highs,
higher-lows, and a bullish price channel telling us to look for opportunities to buy
Mini-Russell on a pullback so we can get into the trade on a discounted price off
the highs.
Our goal on the Mini-Russell is to look for buying
opportunities this evening and tomorrow using the levels at
1153.6, 1151.5, 1148.3 and 1143.2 with profit-targets above
us at 1159.7 and 1162.4.
Remember, we have that major resistance on the 64-anchor chart at 1158.2, so
keep an eye out for a price-reversal and some selling opportunities tomorrow
later in the session.
