In my last newsletter, I predicted a bounce from 4564 back to 4580-90, and this played out perfectly yesterday. ES has now put in 5 daily candles stacked side by side, suggesting a large move is incoming. We are now consolidating for the next big move, with the FOMC on Wednesday being a potential catalyst.

Key Structures
The pattern forming now looks like a rough triangle, with 4560-62 support, and 4590-92 resistance. Some core big picture structures and levels I am watching now include 4590-92, 4560-62, 4539, and 4493-97.
Currently, I am still holding my 10% long runner. With today being a pre-FOMC day, I would not be surprised to see very complex, difficult bi-directional chop. The key supports today to watch are 4572 and 4560-62. If we do get the breakout, I would not be surprised if we run to 4630 before any micro-dip.
Wrap Up
In summary, we remain in complex chop and this should be the case until FOMC on Wednesday. This will be a level to level traders market. I see 4590-4560 as being pure chop. Ideally, we can sell to test 4572ish, perhaps bounce there back up the levels and continue filling out the above-mentioned range and triangle until FOMC, which would favor a bullish breakout. If 4560 fails, its short to 4539.
