Will Lumber Futures Shore Up the Stock Market Rally?Traders: Track a September contract breakout above 494.5. A decisive close above that level sets a rough target of 600 (shelf of former highs from last year).
I’ll pass since I don’t trade lumber. (I like the bullish divergence forming on the 14-day RSI, though.)
Whether you trade the futures contract or not, a rally for lumber is a rally for homebuilders and the broader stock market.
Stay tuned for further bull market confirmation from the commodity space.

1D: IOTXUSD vs LUMBER.... Got Wood????As above.
Interesting inverse correlation of LUMBER prices with IOTXUSD....
When LUMBER prices drop to local low/bottom, IOTX seems to spike shortly after that.
Maximum bull run on IOTX happens soon after the crossover as LUMBER price action is on a major downswing and IOTX price action is on the up swing. Looks like this scenario might be playing out right now?
Will follow....
Good luck traders!
