Price action

The move off 44.04 carried to 45.98 around 2:00 PM ET, and the last hour has held above 45.11 on the 15m chart. Recent closes are 45.4 to 45.6, so buyers are defending the upper half of the range.

Lean: LONG

Neutral funding means no crowd to fight. Holding above 45.11 keeps a retest of 45.98 on the table.

Invalidation: a 15m close below 45.11 puts price back into the middle of the range and cancels the long.

Open interest this low means wide spreads at times. Limit orders only.
