Summary

A much quieter day after the drama of the FOMC.

What is bemusing to see are bears calling for a major reversal from here. Why would we reverse, one day after a major breakout?

I have to follow the bigger weekly trends, which are still outright bullish.

*I remain on the sidelines, but will consider an index long in the sp'1714/12 zone, if the price action looks okay. Broad upside into the 1730s looks very likely next week.
