6 Technical Levels Traders Are Watching Amid The FOMC Drama

It's almost time for the FOMC's December meeting. Some investors are betting on a rate hike, while others aren't. Regardless of the Fed's decision, it's important to track what technical levels the markets are eyeing.

Call Levels, which tracks technical levels its user base is watching, recently shared some charts with readers. "Expect tremendous volatility in USD, Gold and Tech Stocks regardless of the [rate decision]," a new report from the company explained.

Users are watching a range between $36.963 and $37.142 in Crude oil futures NYMEX. At the time of this writing, futures broke above the high point of this range near $37.32. It's unknown how a rate hike will affect the price of oil.
