Stocks Await the FOMC

After pivoting off new relative lows at 4068, stocks were able to maintain the 4180's. We are seeing strong resistance here confirmed by red triangles on the KRI. We have two levels at 4178 and 4188 that are proving difficult for stocks to break through. The stock market is clearly looking for guidance from the Fed at 14:30 EST, so we do not expect much action before then. There is a lot of uncertainty in the markets and this may provide much needed clarity. If we see a rally, then 4306 would be the target to the upside and should provide resistance. If we selloff again, then lows at 4068 should provide support. However, keep in mind there is a vacuum zone to 4009, which is the final technical level in the 4000's.
