My Swing Trading Approach

With the FOMC Statement coming out today, I will likely stay on the sidelines until it is released. 

Indicators

  • VIX – Second straight day of little to no movement in the indicator. Remains at 12.34. 
  • T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): Flat session saw the indicator remain at 71%. 
  • Moving averages (SPX): Trading above all the major moving averages.

My Market Sentiment

Not a fan of taking part in much activity ahead of the FOMC statement, unless it is a perfect trade setup. FOMC days typically see low volume in the morning and strong volume following the statement’s release. Remember, following the FOMC, it is likely you’ll see multiple price swings.
