After FOMC

Outlook 01/30: Stock futures rise Thursday as investors digest a losing session after the Federal Reserve held steady on rates. Investors were also a bit cautious to buy after fourth-quarter GDP growth came in at just 2.3%, missing expectations. On Wednesday, all three major averages ended the session lower as a 4% decline in Nvidia weighed on the market. The declines came after the Fed paused its interest rate-cutting campaign, leaving its borrowing rate unchanged in a range between 4.25% and 4.5%. In their post-meeting statement, policymakers noted that inflation remains “somewhat elevated.”

ESH25 (MAR2025): YVAH 6086 YPOC 6075 YVAL 6062 GAP 6065

/ES Plan: Yesterday market closed balanced, and overnight continues on that way, moving within previous value, so these're the opening and initial balance options for current session:

A) If market remains above YVAH 6086 with bullish internals, buy towards YHOD-HVE 6112 and GAP 6129 PBT 6156 magnets.

B) If market moves below YVAH 6086 with bearish internals, sell towards GAP 6065 YVAL-VAR 6062 magnet YLOD 6042 and HVE 6034.

Note: FOMC day always offer an overreaction, Today is the real reaction to yesterday news, and Tomorrow is when we have confirmation of the next trend. On these high volatility days, a lot of money could be made and lost but your first trading rule is 'manage your risk', sizing small with less /ES emini contracts or using /MES micro futures.
