"Chart-wise, we're still in "nothing particularly bearish has happened yet" territory."

"Today, the Fed will emerge from its bunker to announce what it's going to do about interest rates. A fair number of people seem to be expecting the Fed to start lowering rates "any minute now!" (the same people have been expecting that for roughly a year now) but that still seems premature to me. I suppose we'll see.
No matter what the Fed does, even if what it "does" is nothing at all, the market typically reacts like this is earth-shattering news that has either appalled or amazed everyone on the planet. As a result, Fed days can be both treacherous and fun to trade -- and sometimes outright hilarious, as they reveal the irrational nature of humanity and its construct known as "the market."
Chart-wise, we're still in "nothing particularly bearish has happened yet" territory. In fact, nothing at all has really happened, other than a sidewise grind."
"In conclusion, given the sideways nature of the near-term market and the fact that the larger trend is still "up," the onus remains on bears to get something going. Since today is a Fed day, there is, of course, always the chance that today becomes their opportunity. Trade safe."
