The $SPX continues to trade above its 200ema with the odd plunge below it and then recovers. The chart is still very bearish regardless as it is still 800 points above its long term rising uptrendline.

Isn’t the 200 day m/a for the spx at 4143?…….

On the Weekly $SPX chart it shows the 200ema at 3685 but on the Daily chart on the $SPX it shows the 20-0ema at 4153. Why the huge difference is beyond my pay grade…………….

Notice the positive divergences on some oscillators?
Perhaps the fed is only going to hike rates tomorrow. 25% or .5o% rather than the perceived. 75% expected.

I don’t know what the Fed will do or say but there is so much bearish and negative comments out there that I think we’ll see some sort of short covering rally…..So I bought some ZWB to-day at 18.75 in my TFSA a/c…..it was yielding 7.04% so if I’m wrong I’ll just hold and collect the monthly dividends…

Yes, if I was short I’d exit today.Too many people expect the worst and are short.
