Results & Update: S&P 500 Index one of the biggest of the month with four powerful top notch events

Recap 4/08  – Friday, the S&P opened with a 6 handle gap down and then declined another 19 handles into a 9:59 AM low of the day. From that low, the S&P rallied 45 handles into a 12:29 PM high of the day.  From that high,  the S&P declined about 34 handles into the close.

4/08 – The major indices had a divergent mixed up and down day to finish per the following closes:  INDU + 137.55; S&P 500 - 11.93: and the NASDAQ Composite - 186.30.         

Looking ahead  - Our next change in trend window is for 4/08 AC and is one of the biggest of the month with four powerful top notch events. 

However, Friday’s price action was not very promising in providing a good set up.  We look for the market to get to some extreme as it approaches a change in trend window.  The bigger the extreme the better.  Usually, the bigger the change in trend window, the bigger extreme.  Obviously, this was not the case on Friday.  The only thing that could qualify this for a potential good entry is a big gap up or down on Monday.  Otherwise, this may indicate that the market is stuck in a sideways range for a while.  Please see details below. 

The Now Index is in the NEUTRAL ZONE.

AUD/USD eyes 100-SMA hurdle near 0.7035 as hawkish RBA counters firmer USD

AUD/USD regains positive traction on Tuesday and climbs to 0.7030 during the Asian session, reversing the previous day's corrective slide from a one-month high as hawkish RBA rate expectations continue to support the Aussie. Spot prices, however, remain below the 100-day SMA pivotal resistance amid a firmer US Dollar as traders brace for Australia’s September CPI report on Wednesday ahead of the Fed rate decision.

USD/JPY sticks to modest gains above 157.50 as traders await Fed, BoJ meetings

USD/JPY attracts buyers for the third straight day, recovering further from a one-month low ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC decision and the BoJ policy update on Friday. Meanwhile, expectations that the BoJ may hold off on aggressive rate hikes weigh on the Japanese Yen, and the US Dollar advances to a nearly two-week high, supporting the currency pair.

Gold holds above $4,000 as traders brace for Fed interest rate decision

Gold edges higher during American trading hours on Tuesday after trading in negative territory earlier in the day. A slight decline in Oil prices offers some relief, although a firmer USD limits the upside as traders await the Fed’s monetary policy announcement on Wednesday.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP on edge as sell-side pressure intensifies

Cryptocurrency prices are broadly correcting on Tuesday, led by Bitcoin (BTC) edging lower below the pivotal $80,000 level. Ethereum (ETH) mirrors Bitcoin’s neutral-to-bearish outlook, while Ripple (XRP) hovers around $1.30.

Experts agree: Fed policy outlook and geopolitical tensions keep US Dollar bid

The US Dollar Index rallies 0.6% in three days and hits fresh two-week highs above 102.00. Investors return to the US Dollar as markets brace for a hawkish hold by the Fed on Wednesday. Waning hopes of any immediate US-Iran peace deal have provided additional support to the safe-haven USD.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
