There were attempts to rally overnight and there is a high probability of a rally to at least 2730-35.. 

The critical test: is can the market rally, sell off a few points, hold, and then rally above 2730/35 during this and the next session. 

This is a VERY resilient market that can quickly adjust to rising inflation and interest rates but this may take a few weeks for participants to adjust to the new environment.

It will be better for the medium and long term health of the market - and admittedly, for my bank account - if there is a test of the recent lows (2530/40) ......

First test of S&P 2730 failed.

Expect another attempt and more, if necessary.

3 more attempts failed to break 2730/1

 

Let's see if all the FEDspeak can help it break above S&P 2731 this afternoon
