We saw a decent snapback in the market early today then a late-morning fade.

This $SPX 3,800 level is support for now.

The futures were wild last night after the Bank of Japan intervention and then steadily crawled their way back.

I'm watching 378 on $SPY. Should we break below that level, we could see 375.

We filled the gap down on the $SPX at 3,818 and the market continued lower.

$QQQ closed its respective gap as well.

Let's see what this week brings.

If the $SPX can hold on to 3,800 roughly, there's potential for a back-test up to 3,940 or so.

If not, then we head down to 3,744.

Today $SPY filled its gap from the Nov. 10 CPI print.

We're currently below the major moving averages.

Another gap lower for the indices this morning. I'll be watching to see if the $SPX can hold 3,861 or so.

I was looking for a gap down. Now we'll see if we can get a bounce.

The market opened lower and continued on that path all day.

It was a tough day, and I tried to manage risk.

The $SPX hit some support at 3,887. The next level down is 3,867.

The market is continuing yesterday's slide after Fed Chair Powell’s speech.

For today, I'm watching the 21-day moving average on $SPY at 396.40. We're slightly below it.

We saw a lot of volatility after the FOMC meeting today.

We dropped below $SPX 4,000 before quickly bouncing back.

We have the FOMC decision and Fed Chair Powell up at bat today.

I guess the market will be judging Powell's overall tone to see if and when the Fed will start to pivot.

November CPI came in better than expected, and the market was up over 2% at the open then drifted lower all morning.

The $SPY was up at 410 and dropped down to 399, roughly.

There was a lot of profit-taking, and a lot of good short ideas were out there to be had.

From the Desk of Kimmy Sokoloff

Futures are up big this morning. Now we'll see what the November CPI data brings this morning at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The $SPX futures are trading roughly at their 200-day moving average at 4,050.
