hawkish Fed statement..
didnt see it.. it may not be a good time to buy 1617... 1581 is the lower close.

1617 may become R,, i just dont trust NFP because it may range days before.. 1641 or 1654 ish seems better.

the highest close here is 1641, the lower 1581. 1617 is inside.

I have the similar feeling too.. if tomorrow the downtrend is not broken , the run will be over 45 some hours..,,time wise, trend mostly starts to reverse , especially if Trump chooses Powell instead of Taylor as Fed Chair tomorrow afternoon...... it will definitely reverse, start uptrend..then it will last two days with NFP.. ....one cycle after another cycle.

not so sure they get a tax plan myself. cutting the state tax exemption, mortgage exemption and 401k isn't going to sit well with some middle class. it's going to hurt home values in some states. the home is where many middle class store their wealth. they will get penetrated w/o vaseline. they will have less 401k and less house value. then they won't be able to even deduct the interest or taxes paid. so in reality, they will pay higher taxes. i just dont get it..

FWIW, I read that the first 500k of your mtg interest may still be deducted. One of the ideas floated, since it will mostly impact the coastal "blue" states
whereas much of the US has interest deductions a bit lower. We will see......

anyone deducting mortgage interest now will no longer be able to do it (under proposed plan). that's a tax increase. some people instead of renting chose to own a home because they can deduct the mortgage interest. not to mention investors like myself who deduct interest on investment property. if you take this incentive away, property values no matter red/blue will drop. Tell a middle class guy owning a home, you're going to take away his nest egg value of his home. so this alone kicks the average guy doing the right thing in his nutz. an average guy paying his bills. the cherry on top is you want to decrease his allowable 401K deductions (another tax increase). so when he retires at 80 he will not have a pot to piss in..this plan will leave many the ability not to afford the home they currently live in. many will go bankrupt, further dropping value. good luck.. its a tax increase wrapped in a shit crust.

dow up 7 months straight, others markets too. as a general rule. 8 is hard to do. possible retrace coming in a red candle.. its green atm this month with new record highs. {image}
check out #8 now.. spx 500.. a month range can take back 5 1/2 of the green candles.

i got a piece of that spike at 1661.. i may get scared if the 12h closes above 1654.. but i did expect a shot at 1709 (some). so i do have some room to load more.
