Technical Outlook:
- Extremely dovish and extremely unexpected FOMC Statement yesterday that cut the yearly outlook of 4 additional rate hikes down to 2 additional rate hikes.
- As a result, Yellen, by cutting the number of rates for the year, essentially gave the market the equivalent of two rate cuts yesterday.
- Be careful today, because a lot of the central banking actions of late, including the recent Draghi decision has resulted in next day reversals.
- 200-day moving average was broken yesterday, and the down trend off of the December highs was broken too.
- Bascially SPX is now trading above all the major moving averages.
- SPY volume picked up for the second straight day, but even with a FOMC announcement, was still below recent averages.
- VIX saw a major move yesterday that resulted in the VIX dropping below the rising trend-line off of the October lows, dropping a big -11% down to 14.99.
- USO coiling at recent highs popping 5% yesterday.
- Divergence in IWM, as yesterday’s move failed to make new rally highs.
- T2108 at 83.5%rising only 2.8% yesterday.
- SPX looking to close in on breakeven for the year. At 2044 level on SPX, there is a significant amount of resistance that was created during February – August time period of 2015.
