AS I SEE IT: The market traded lower in overnight trading and continued that slide for the first two hours this morning. We did get a little snap-back rally back up above the opening highs but the overnight gap wasn’t filled. From there the market traded lower into the close. Traders are putting on protection because of the Fed Market Decision tomorrow.

Have your trading strategies in place tomorrow when the Fed Announcement is made because I believe the market will have a big move in one direction or the other.

The Soaring Phoenix Market Trading Strategies made money in the E-mini S&P, Grains, and the Oil contracts today. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s market action.
