After the volatility seen on Wednesday in the S&P 500, the expectation is that Thursday will be a day for the market to catch its breath before labor numbers come out on Friday. This means trading inside Wednesday's range on Thursday.

multiday short trade on sp500 . Tp at 4700
at the SP/VIX ratio, candle marked a bad bearish shadow, a hypothetical prelude to the formation of a bearish parallel channel. Possible index target 4700 points.
WTF was that? LOL, Powell pump and dump in just one hour. I know I keep saying Fed days always whipsaw, but that was ridiculous.
Futures up a little on QCOM earnings, Europe might bounce overnight, sold of hard this morning, more whipsaw.
Anyways, it messed up the indicators, so no trading until things go overbought or oversold. Taking the rest of the week off.
I go over how to establish potential scenarios for an FOMC day and how to prepare accordingly. FOMC can be very tricky to trade, but if you have a plan and know the levels that are in play it can provide great opportunities.
On ES (S&P 500 Futures), it's nice to see a strong sell-off from the price of 5090 and 5128. It's also encouraging to observe a strong volume area where a lot of contracts are accumulated.
I believe that sellers from this area will defend their short positions. When the price returns to this area, strong sellers will push the market down again.

Price action in orange ellipse appears corrective, and in that light I feel more confident that the move from 5333.50 to 4963.50 was a complete impulse wave. From here, I see two possibilities: the bullish count (green) would have us at or near the low of today, with a move back up towards 5154.25 to complete a (B) wave; the bearish count (red) would have us...
This ES1 chart is the six + Europe and Asia trading sessions.
this hasn't corrected properly in over a decade.... and this is what it looks like when they print trillions out of thin air, as "aid for Ukraine" which is then spent entirely on weapons or infrastructure supplied by our military industrial complex. we were warned about this shit. Orwell,...

With the Fed making announcement on Wednesday, volatility would be expected in the S&P 500.
A change in the feds attitude towards interest rates being high longer is not expected.
Going over the days price action. looking for clues on how we could have traded the day better. always do your reflection period. without Reflection there is no Wisdom, only wasted time and time is something we just don't have a lot of. so Make it count. do the hard work.
SP500 open with a gap down.
going for a long position before it continues its trend downwards.
