Bear-killer rally too far too fast but still could reach as far as ES 4100-50 on this leg up.
FED may not resume HAWKISH talk until after the midterms -- usually they stay quiet during these political events.
However they may sound HAWKISH but be DOVISH in the near future, especially now that they will
most likely cut to 50bps in December.
50bps this week also?
Does not seem so ...
more later

Yeah, with the little time I had to check out charts this weekend, this all looks way too much like early 2001, with Dow poppin' and Naz withering on the vine.
Was not a good time to be long stocks other than for short while on Dow, and Naz just got pumelled once that Dow rally faded.
Going to be in scalp mode until Fed, and then we see.
But as long as Apple above 145 and Rusty above 1800, bulls still have a shot a something bigger here.
That was a major support area down there around 1650 on Rusty, and bears could not punch through it.
For bull case, Rusty obviously needs to continue to hold 1800, and then needs to build some kind of base over 200 day MA.
But if 1800 does not hold for some reason, decent shot bears give it another go, and should they get through on the next attempt, could be an ugly next few years, like 2001-2003
With Apple jamming itself right up into the rolling over 3 hour last week, bulls are definitely going have to prove themselves worthy.
Apple getting a foothold over 160 could be first real positive sign for bulls.
Back under 150 is first warning, and under 145 again could be the kill shot.

50bps this week also?
Not unless 2yr rate takes a big dive in next 2 days...currently headed back in wrong direction near 4.5...
3.25 still leaves fed with some catchin' up to do.
My guess is decision is between 75 and 100, and they choose 75.

Well no surprise this morning that the market is pulling back a little. When you look at bonds you can see why anyhow as it seems as they go the market follows. Little above 4% so were down. Likely go as d is talking about and k's opinion on interest rates. Canada back pedalled a little this time around with only a .50% hike but I think the Fed will stick with their .75 as they are behind a little. I had figured last time around that it was going to be the last for awhile and still can't believe they don't want to wait and see how these hikes play out but guess we'll see, no one really knows. Market will likely be pretty quiet going into it though with lots of grinding going on. Still have my short on at 3890 and we'll see how the day goes because if we can pullback enough I may even go long as this is a great trading market right now as volatility continues...

Out for a 1 point profit, but good to start on a clean slate on this last day of the month. Would prefer to be on the long side anyhow so hopefully get a decent buy in here at the open!!!
