market. Stochastics and the RSI are turning bearish signaling that the
corrective rebound off the recent low might have run its course. If this

1/2-cent higher opening when the day session begins trading later this
morning.

Friday's breakout below support marked by the 10-day moving average
crossing at 3.12 3/4. Multiple closes below the 10-day moving average
would temper the near-term friendly outlook in the market. Stochastics
and the RSI are turning neutral signaling that sideways to lower prices
are possible near-term. Closes above the May-September downtrend line
crossing near 3.20 are needed to confirm that a bottom and trend change
has taken place while opening the door for a larger-degree rebound this
fall. Overnight action sets the stage for a steady to a 1/2-cent higher
opening when the day session begins later this morning.

lower prices are possible near-term. If December extends this week's
setback, a test of this month's low crossing at 3.28 1/4 is the next
downside target. Closes above the May-September downtrend line
crossing near 3.50 are needed to confirm that a trend change has taken
place.

next downside target. Overnight action sets the stage for a 1 to 3-cents
higher opening when the day session begins later this morning.

consolidates some of last Friday's decline. Closes above gap resistance
crossing at 159.80 would open the door for a possible test of this month's

that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Closes above this
month's high crossing at 163.50 are needed to confirm that a short-term
low has been posted. If this fall's decline resumes, a test of the January
2002 low crossing at 145.40 is possible later this year. Overnight action

test of the late-September low crossing at 86.25 later this
fall.
