Hi ot, all you need to know is that when the Fed intervenes (green bars) the markets go up. Just match some of the dates of the bigger bars to the dates on the charts of indices and you have all the info you need to know. The market is not moving on its own momentum, it is being propped. So the real questions are: 1) How much longer can they do this? and 2) How can I make money from it? If and when the Fed steps aside (either by choice or by the force of nature) is when the party comes to an end. For now, let's trade it (with caution)...
