March Cotton<\/h2>\n

March Cotton is attempting to shift its formation back to the topside and is activating upside PriceCount objectives (assuming today’s early strength holds). The first count projects a run to the 66.11 area.<\/p>\n

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an \u2018exact\u2019 science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. <\/em><\/p>\n

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. <\/em><\/p>\n
