About the FOMC The term "monetary policy" refers to the actions undertaken by a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve, to influence the availability and cost of money and credit to help promote national economic goals.

The Federal Reserve controls the three tools of monetary policy--open market operations, the discount rate, and reserve requirements.

On that close at 126.19, 22% of stocks closed above their 50 day average. On August 31 we were rejected at 123.5 with 24% of stocks above that average. Tuesday? We raced up to 123.50 before pulling back, with 68% of stocks above their 50 day average. While it guarantees nothing, there’s no doubt this trip to that level has better energy. I’ve made some notes on my $SPY daily as follows: What’s most important about Tuesday is that longer-term buyers finally have a close & identifiable stop.

I’d expect this move to unfold much differently than what we’ve seen in the last 2 weeks; fewer 90% days, shrinking ATR, (hopefully) fewer gaps.
