The CTK6(Mkt) ended Lower(Cond) for February(Month). Compared to January's 61.60(Prev Close), the market ended February at 56.50(Month Close), that being 24%(Pct Range) off of 54.53(Month Low) to 62.85(Month High).

In comparing the January/February closes for each of the last 45 years(Total Years), Scenario found that the May Cotton(ICE) also closed lower in February than January in 17(Cond Years) of those years. Of those 17, CTK went on to penetrate the February low within the next 2 months in 15 years(Action Years) or 88%(Pct) of the time.

Therefore, the historical odds are high that the CTK should penetrate 54.53(Scenario Objective) by no later than the end of April. If it does so, Scenario would further project (based on normalizing those previous 15 years) a potential move toward 50.43(Average Objective).

July Cotton(ICE)
The CTN6(Mkt) ended Lower(Cond) for February(Month). Compared to January's 61.93(Prev Close), the market ended February at 56.26(Month Close), that being 22%(Pct Range) off of 54.33(Month Low) to 63.00(Month High).

In comparing the January/February closes for each of the last 45 years(Total Years), Scenario found that the July Cotton(ICE) also closed lower in February than January in 17(Cond Years) of those years. Of those 17, CTN went on to penetrate the February low within the next 2 months in 15 years(Action Years) or 88%(Pct) of the time.

Therefore, the historical odds are high that the CTN should penetrate 54.33(Scenario Objective) by no later than the end of April. If it does so, Scenario would further project (based on normalizing those previous 15 years) a potential move toward 50.53(Average Objective).
