Fed Day to Make or Break the Market
I'm writing this with a sense of deja vu. Those who have been monitoring the market know what I mean. Seems like no stopping on the sea of red. If you have been trading PUT options, especially on the homebuilders and financial sector, well done and congratulations!
Right now the S&P500 is the weakest major index, having closed below the 200MA as well as retraced more than 61.8% of the swing from Mar low to Jul high. Both the Nasdaq and Dow still above 200MA, with Nasdaq having retraced more than 50%, while the latter retraced about 38.2%. The late Feb correction this year took about 2 weeks to recover and we are now at about the 2 weeks juncture into the sell-off.
Tuesday is Fed Day. I don't recommend initiating new swing positions ahead of this important day. Keep an eye on how the market response. This is a pivotal week and it could make or break the market.
