Summary

Little to add

The rest of the week..and year will be entirely dependent upon how the market reacts to the FOMC tomorrow.

The target levels are clear, bears need a break <1772, whilst bulls merely need a break back into the low 1800s.

Best guess...after any initial wild swings tomorrow from 2-3pm, the market will battle higher.
