1. Market Commentary

Last week ( Thursday to be exact) I shared the same chart below with the sell signal if we can break 1204.50 ( The market was trading around 1215 at that time). Well we broke below and pretty much got the first target in one trading day.

Tomorrow we will have FOMC minutes, an important report which the market tends to react to or as I call it, “Market respects it”.

If the market breaks above 1204.50 after the minutes, we may see a relief from selling, on the other hand if the market reacts bearishly to the report than 1147.50 and 1120 are next targets.
