SHORT-TERM: THE MARKET IS RANGE BOUNDED BUT THE UP MOMENTUM IS WEAKENING
Still no conclusion today, the SPY is stuck in a range. However, resistance or support, the more times it’s being tested the weaker it is, so chances are pretty high that we’ll see a breakout on the upside tomorrow, and via FOMC, as forecasted in 01/21 Market Recap, very likely we’ll see a new high.
On the other hand, bears still have hopes. Besides the reversal of reversal of reversal in those days which is a typical pattern for an important top, if you still remember my N vs N rule, then you should see, apparently the up momentum is weakening, so again, no need to despair (as I’ve sensed from my blog and my forum).
About FOMC tomorrow, except as mentioned in today’s After Bell Quick Summary: generally bullish and roller-coaster show, the intraday pattern tends to go steady higher and a little bit pullback before the close. The chart below is from Bespoke.
INTERMEDIATE-TERM: IN WAIT AND SEE MODE, WHETHER THE 01/18 HIGHS IS THE WAVE 5 HIGH REMAINS TO BE SEEN
Since even the short-term I have no answer for whether the pullback is over, so whether the intermediate-term was topped, we’ll have to wait and see.
SEASONALITY: THE LAST 2 TRADING DAYS OF EACH MONTH SINCE AUGUST 2009 WERE BEARISH
See 01/21 Market Recap for more details.
