OK, rebalancing....shifting long? No guarantee? The storage release data has become a pretty big mover, we'll see if a clue is there tomorrow.

{quote} got the close below it now next level is to close below 17805 on the DOW and then we should see some good bear action for the remainder of the month
The DOW has given back its early gains already, now can it sustain and close below the above quote today, FOMC minutes later

Yeah, I am not in the hurry also... USD is rising again, Iran is pressuring to sell... That was a terrific 2 day up move... It stopped right at resistance @ $54... too bad I didn't press SELL button there...

expecting a major move during and after this FOMC minutes, we've been in the last FOMC candle range without testing both top or bottom of usd$ from last FOMC 3 WEEKS AGO.

Yep, it has been 3 weeks of poop. Falling oil and rising $ are bear signs....but FOMC effect 3 weeks ago was a bull party, you'd have to expect the same again from the minutes of the hyper-dovish Yellen Fed's FOMC, terrified of what the junkie market might do if they tighten one tick. I don't have any new short term trades running, content to see what's what after the dust settles.

Highlights of the FOMC minutes for the March 17-18, 2015 meeting:

  1. Fed officials favoring liftoff later in 2015 cited dollar, oil
  2. Officials
  3. Several participants at Fed meeting judged that economic data likely to warrant June rate hike
  4. Other participants anticipate initial rate hike more likely later in 2015 due to impact of US dollar and oil prices
  5. Minutes say a couple of participants (Kocherlakota and Evans for sure) suggested holding off raising rates until 2016
  6. Participants expect fairly gradual pace of rate increases; not necessarily at every meeting
  7. Minutes say further improvement in labor market
  8. Full text of the FOMC minutes

The main headline is Bloomberg's and not that it reads 'shows' not 'says'. The minutes say 'several'. Does Bullard, Fisher and George count as several?
It's hawkish overall. Definitely keeps a June hike on the table but remember this was before NFP and some other recent data. The dollar took some time but it's going now.
