Change in trend window: Does this mean we have a good trading opportunity?

Special announcement – There will be a Fed FOMC policy announcement on Wednesday, at about 2 PM EST.

1/25 Recap - The S&P opened with an 44 handle gap down and then traded another 80 handles lower into a 10:06 AM low of the day. From that low, the S&P rallied 66 handles into a 10:48 AM high. From that high, the S&P declined 46 handles into am 11:39 AM low. From that low, the S&P zig zagged 33 handles higher into a 12:25 PM high. From that high, the S&P declined 26 handles into a 12:56 PM low. From that low, the S&P rallied 96 handles into a 2:57 PM high of the day. From that high, the S&P declined 62 handles into a 3:53 PM low. From that low, the S&P bounced 7 – 11 handles into the close.

1/25 – The major indices, following a huge morning decline, recouped most of the decline by late afternoon and then had a sizeable decline in the last half hour to finish the day per the following closes: INDU - 66.67; S&P 500 - 53.68; and the NASDAQ Composite - 315.68.

Looking ahead - We are now at the next change in trend window. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean we have a good trading opportunity. We want to see the market at some extreme relative to recent price action and the S&P is now positioned about midway to the 1/24 range. Another huge opening to test the recent high or low could improve the situation. Keep in mind it’s Fed day.

The NOW Index has moved back to the NEUTRAL Zone.
