Results and update: S&P 500 is stuck in a trading range

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT – The Fed will make their FOMC policy announcement on Wednesday, September 22 at about 2:00 PM EDT.

SPECIAL FEATURE – There was a Full Moon Volcano.  

9/21 Recap: - The S&P opened with a 16 handle gap up and then traded another 20 handles higher into a 9:48 AM high of the day. This also capped a 90 handles rally from Monday afternoon’s low. From that high, the S&P declined 27 handles into a 10:54 AM low of the day.  From that low, the S&P rallied 37 handles into an 12:14 PM high. From that high, the S&P declined 33 handles into a 2:29 PM low.  From that low, the S&P rallied 23 handles into a 3:16 PM high.  From that high, the S&P declined 22 handles into the close.

9//21 - The major indices, capped a huge recovery rally from Monday’s lows, in line with the Full Moon, and then declined to retest Monday’s low. This resulted in a mixed day with the following closes: The DJIA - 50.63, the S&P 500 Index - 3.54, and the Nasdaq Composite + 32.49.

Looking ahead  – Tuesday, shortly after the opening, we had a Full Moon high. However, so far, there has been no follow thru by taking out Monday’s lows. This may be an indication the S&P is stuck in a trading range for a few days.  aking out Monday’s lows or Tuesday high, would indicate a larger trend move.

The next major change in trend window is due over the 9/24 weekend.

The NOW Index has moved back to the NEUTRAL ZONE.
