Good Tuesday morning,





Markets somehow rebounded yesterday after a big down day on Friday, caused by turmoil in the Middle East, and are rolling over again in the overnight session. So, what's it gonna be—up, down, or sideways?



Well, my crystal ball is broken at the moment, so we must stay fluid—now more than ever! This yo-yo market is enough to make anyone's head spin, bulls or bears, it doesn't matter! And with the FED meeting starting today, and their interest rate decision tomorrow @ 2:00 p.m. EST, expect even more volatility ahead!




In the profile pic and key levels below, there was a sharp liquidation break in the overnight session, and that put price below a very key level at 6080. Yesterday we had a straight-up move from the open, and in the overnight session, we had the complete opposite, straight-down move, so this certainly puts today's direction in serious question. I don't know what strings will be pulled once the opening bell rings, however, I do know if buyers take out 6080, then I will be biased more to the long side, and target the POC at 6091 first, then upper targets at 6115-6125.




Now, if the sellers keep price below 6080, then I will bias more to the downside, and look for the overnight low to re-test, and then lower targets at 6045-6035, which is also very close to the new VPOC added yesterday at 6032.75! Any further selling could see 6000-5980!




N.B. Yesterday was contract rollover, so we are switching from the M25 contract (June) to the U25 contract (September).



Futures are currently trading at 6065 at the time of this writing.





VPOC Update: 6032.75 is a new VPOC added yesterday below, and is definitely in play today. We now have 3 above and 21 below.
