Summary
Having broken yesterday's low.. the next level is clearly the 200dma, along with the 50% fib retrace around 1950. That is of course a full 2% below yesterday's close.
Considering the current mood in early market... it now looks like we'll get there.
--
Notable early strength: GDX +4.4%... naturally.. a result of the strong metal gains. Will be interesting to see how they are trading after the FOMC meeting.

Video update from Mr Permabull

Regardless of today, the window for the bears IS still due to close. If we do reach 1950 by tomorrow... I will indeed be surprised, but we'll still be due to rally from there.
Have an 'entertaining' Tuesday.
