Good Wednesday morning!




It's FED day today!!!



We are going to keep it short and sweet..... again. The profile pic and key levels tell it all!! Look at the tight overnight range. It is what's called a symmetrical triangle, or where we see lower highs and higher lows, a compression of prices. This tells us that market participants are basically on the sidelines waiting for the key information from the FED which will be released at 2:00 PM EST, followed by Fed Chair press conference @ 2:30 PM EST!!!


As we talked about yesterday, the bulls regained control and definitely put the shorts in pain early during the session, HOWEVER, sellers finally came in and very key levels were lost to the downside and lower targets were hit!!! As we laid out for everyone.....


"If there is a pullback, expect the double top @ 5702 to be tested and then maybe 5696.75. If these levels are tested they "should hold" and "should be" bought, however, if they are not and the selling intensifies, then look for lower targets!"



Yesterday when 5709 was lost and then 5696.75 got blown out, there was fast tempo and momentum to the downside so there wasn't even a question as to whether or not they were going to buy these levels. The answer was a resounding no!



Please check out the profile pic and key levels and ranges for today. Overnight range has been tight but once the bell rings there could be early movement to try to front run the decision. Any price action that stays between 5711 - 5697.50 is pure balance so expect chop and responsive trade. If buyers come in, look for longs above 5711 then upper targets where there could be new initiating trade to the upside. If sellers come in and take out 5697.50 then look to the short side and lower targets.




VPOC Update: No new VPOC's were added however we took one out above current prices so we now have only 1 above and 22 untested points of control below.
