FOMC is behind us. Mixed reaction from the market and many times the real direction will show the next day, so tomorrows price action is important to watch. My indicators suggest that as long as we can hold the 1115 level, we still have a shot at more upside move. However a break below 1115 on mini SP along with continued upside in bond market may suggest temporary top. Time and price will tell.

FOMC tomorrow around 2:15 Eastern time. Even before that we will start the day with some important housing numbers. FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow. If you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market. My observations suggest choppy, low volume up until announcement, followed by some some sharp volatile moves right during and after the announcement. I am including 5 minutes chart from August 10th of this year, which was the last FOMC we had for your reference.

“Looks like 1122 should be a decision level based on the chart below.”
Well very similar comments today…… looks like 1122.75 should be decision level if we are to break upside, while 1105.75 to 1109.25 is the support to watch. Chart for your review below.

Market had some what of an odd rhythm today after the long weekend. We saw big moves in both currencies and bonds. I think that we should see clearer picture tomorrow as more traders will be back after Labor day + we have a few economic reports while today we did not have any reports.
Some levels to watch for tomorrows action from the hourly chart below.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that this morning report will determine if we can reach the 1100’s on the SP. Well the answer turned out to be YES. As always in the futures business the current question of what’s next is more important than the previous one….
Well we are trading right against a major retracement level at 1106.50.
As long as pull backs do NOT break 1093, my bias is to the upside. Tuesday should be interesting as we should get an indication if the upside momentum has more legs or not.
Until then, enjoy the long weekend, recharge. Keep in mind the regular session is closed Monday but there is a night session Sunday night and Monday night. More info below.

The slew of reports due tomorrow and Friday, will determine if this market will visit 1093 followed by 1106 or if this is the extend of the bounce. If I had to guess based on the momentum, I would say there is a good chance we will visit the 1100 area but of course this is just a guess….
