June ICE: The contract settled well below Tuesday’s low at 47.20 and the monthly correction point at 47.18. The latter is the 50% c/p of the monthly move up from 18.20 in August 2009 to 76.15 in March 2013. Simply put it, the close of yesterday was a sell. The fresh move down green-lighted the next objective to the downside. It is the 45.50 range support, the monthly low back in November 2011. It is worth remembering that yesterday’s move actually validated a longer-term target – the 61.8% retracement level of the above-mentioned move up at 40.35. It is, however, unlikely that the contract will fall down there in a straight line so it is only reasonable to take it step by step.
