AS I SEE IT: The market continued to move up into resistance today. It feels like it is waiting for the FOMC Announcement tomorrow at 2:15ET. This is the second day up on light volume, so the market needs to move forward on heavier volume or we will start another leg down.

Soaring Phoenix Market Strategies used with the ATM Numbers follow market momentum, so no matter where the market goes our strategies will profit from the movement.
