My Observations and What to Expect:

  • Futures are moderately lower.
  • Today will be used for the market to further digest the Fed's comments in yesterday's FOMC statement.
  • Yesterday snapped a 9-day winning streak for the Nasdaq.
  • I'd like to see a pullback to at least 1100-1115 on the S&P. 
  • Finally starting to work off some of those overbought conditions.
  • Yesterday's volume was much higher than usual, but mainly in part due to the Fed announcement.
  • Monday's 1130 breakthrough, pretty much ruined the bear's chances of a breakdown before the end of the year. 
  • The bears need to target a break of 1113, it's not much but it would be a start. A break of 1100 would have the bulls nervous.
