Be sure to join everyone over at SlopeTalk as we hang out and watch the FOMC do its thing, particularly during the Powell Press Conference. Where it’s at. I got two turntables and a microphone.

Short the Transports
A Decent Start
So far, the reversal at strong resistance at the monthly middle band and the main support/resistance trendline from the 2009 low is proceeding as expected. Monday was bullish as expected, there are high quality double tops formed on SPX/ES, NDX/NQ and INDU/YM. Yesterday there was a decent rejection from Monday’s highs and today, leaning 61.9% bearish, would be a good opportunity to confirm yesterday’s slight closing break below the SPX daily middle band.
The next two weeks lean bearish, with strongly bearish leaning days today, Thursday 11th May, Wednesday & Thursday 17th & 18th May before we see the next strongly bullish leaning day on Thursday 25th May. This is a good time for SPX to turn down and do some significant damage to the downside. The key to the day in my view is whether the weekly and monthly pivots, both currently at 4130 can be converted to resistance today. If we see that and the daily middle band breaks with any confidence, then the path to the downside will be open.
