DBA has just completed a 65.6% retracement of its previous decline. This is a typical bear market rally propelled by shorts having to cover.

The Pre-market is down, but not convincingly yet. I won’t be available to comment during the day, so use your better judgement. The Orthodox Broadening Top won’t be triggered until it breaks through the lower trendline at 1825.00. The trading bands are narrowing, suggesting a big move ahead, but it may take another day or two to set it up.
