Summary
*awaiting CPI data (8.30am)
--
Yesterday saw a new historic high of 2669. S/t price momentum continues to swing back to the bears though. A bearish MACD cross is probable this morning. Soft target would be the lower bollinger, currently at 2643. Keep in mind the gap zone of 2646/36.
If Mr Market wants to cause max confusion, it will washout to the 2630s, before resuming upward into the Christmas break and all the way into mid/late January. By then of course we'll have the sp'2700s and Dow >25k.
As its a fed day, price action will be inclined to be subdued until the 2pm announcement. A further secondary reaction is likely once the press conf' begins at 2.30pm. On balance, net daily declines are due.
