Here is how the price structure of the S&P 500 could look like if the low in May 2022 marked the market bottom without the market capitulation based on Wyckoff trading method and market breadth.

The bullish setup vs. bearish setup is 441 vs 35 from the screenshot of my stock screener below. This is a significant change from last week where lots of the stocks participated the rebound.

For trading tactics, aggressive traders could look for deeply oversold technology stocks or the leadership stocks in the oil and gas industry group. Bear in mind that a counter-trend rally is generally risky not to mention about the elevated volatility in both direction, which could whipsaw the bull and the bear.

The inflation narrative is still way more important than the employment story

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
