Seems suspiciously like a lot of players knew ahead of time the minutes would be dovish. Bastards.

Today was a buy day from morning. It has been so for so many weeks now. Almost every Wednesday is now a buy or range without going anywhere. Today was a buy. I simply do not believe that the Fed minutes or any fundamental data is the reason for price to move. These things are already planned ahead of time. News and data is used to help the spike go one way or the other to grab liquidity (also known as your stop loss. Lol). Even if the US increase rates tonight, price must reach it's upward target, grab the orders there before heading down. It is that simple. They use the media to fool the unsuspecting.

The rise was clear yesterday. Until Powell actually raises rates it will continue to rise.

Yeah, and Kashkari pretty much said it this morning: "can't raise too aggressively."

That is true. Even before a tweet that moves the market is issued, they know.

FOMC said it would not raise interest rates yet but strongly indicated a hike is on the way as soon as March.

Following up after the release of MOM, basically nothing changes. Market fear responding to it.

Until March 15 then...
I come from the future.

Hard to imagine why Russia needs field hospitals near the border for just "exercises."

I hope the sanctions will lead to the Russian people. Into taking their country back from Putin. I hope he ends up like Muammar Gaddafi at the hands of Russians.

A day close above 1369.9. Month and week closes are still below 1369.9. Bulls have a chance to be a little stronger. The week and month challenge is the next to beat or fail at. Some attraction to 1337/38 or less may be present. 1337/38 is below 1369.9. No way to know if 1337/38 will pull it below 1369.9. One should included it a decent possibility. Its a possible bull trap.

The trap may require 1460 to break it. 1460 would mean pa above the R at 1347/49. 1460 is below 1492. Not impossible, but not an easy task. The attraction to 1337/38 may lead pa to 1245. If this is a trap. Thats the white lines in the arrangement I have. The path in white lines.

1337/38 is below 1351. The purple path is far 1.0923

I am waiting on 1362 I dont know what to expect its unclear.
I was hoping for a break of 141 yesterday I only have a pending order for 133 I scratched the 141 as everything has changed. I am waiting on london to hit one of the levels I have set. If nothing is hit I am going to call it day and wait..

It still may break. I saw the action there, and thought it may need to run back to 1337. But when it closed above 1369.9. I had to curve the chance some. If it would run back to 1337, it may not be able to get back above 1369.9. The month and week closed below 1369.9. That day is not as strong. But it deserves respect. All reversals start with the smaller ones. Bears need to stop screwing around. Its mid week and mid month. So while the cat is away. I guess the mice can play. For how long..

I fixed a typo
