Futures Trading levels and Economic reports for Jan 31st

Dear Trader,
 
Fed came with a 50 basis points cut today and gave the market the intial fuel to the upside. However, lack of momentum/volume at the higher level ended with what may be a key downside reversal. The next couple of days will either confirm continued selling pressure or send this market into sideways action.
