No man’s land

We wrote earlier this week that no sector does fake breakout/breakdowns better than the commodity sector, and copper ($HG_F) is certainly no exception. Breakout and failure, and back in zone. Commodities often break-out on the second attempt. Right now though, there’s no trade for us here in no man’s land in copper.
That basically sums it up for a lot of set-ups that we see — Ags have a lot of potential but we’re not ancipating ($CF $AGU leading the pack there) and there are some oil stocks that are within 3-4% of our interest zones ($XOM $CLR $NBL). We also see some very juicy support coming up ($XLF 15).
So basically we’re below break-out areas (and market too weak for us to anticipate) and still above support zones (another few days pull-back would hit these zones and get us involved long). That means we’re doing very little, accounts are flat, and we’re waiting for our numbers to hit.
