RBOB found resistance on Sep 28 at $1.2186 and sold off sharply last week. Yesterday, price action reversed course and futures have retraced the bulk of last week's downleg. A key near-term support lies $1.0958, Oct 2 low. Attention is on resistance at $1.2186, Sep 28 high where a break would strengthen a bullish case and expose key resistance at $1.2462, Aug 25 high. Weakness below $1.0958 is required to reinstate a bearish threat.
