Good morning. Futures are a touch higher, sp +2pts, we're set to open at 1874. Equity bears need to hold the line around 1875, or the H/S scenario should get dropped. Metals are weak, Gold -$9. Today's market close should give clarity on where we are headed into early April.

Summary
So..we're going to open right on the threshold, and I sure can't be the only one considering this scenario. No doubt the algo-bots are sure aware of it!
Clearly, if we see new highs in the Trans/R2K, that will be a primary reason to drop any downside outlook, and instead look to the sp'1900s. We'll know soon enough.

Best guess...1875 holds..and we'll trundle lower in late morning to 1865...before a spike back to 1870/75 on the announcement at 2pm....
..and then down we go..sub '1800 within 3-5 trading days.

Morning doom from Hunter and Orlov
Interesting to hear from Orlov, although I realise some will dismiss much of what he has to say.

I will remain a watcher until 2.05/2.10pm.. and see how the price action is then. As it is, unlike the last FOMC, the cycles are lined up for the bears.
Good wishes for fed day!

9.38am.. minor down cycle...no one wants to buy >1875...do they?
First support 1865...a break <1860 seems highly unlikely ahead of the FOMC.
