Pivot R1R2 and S1S2: Fed Announcments

By , 25 August, 2009, No Comment

The news starts to ratchet up a bit today and it will merit a trader to take notice of the consumer confidence and Case-Shiller announcements. Personally, I put more confidence in the Case-Shiller modeling system than some of the government announcements on the housing situation.

Some good stuff in the offing today, though I doubt it will have the effect of yesterdays early morning roller coaster.  The central theme in the market has, and will continue to be, where we are in terms of a recovery in the current recession.   I suppose I expect to see, in the coming months, a series of fits and starts.  That is, the recession will not suddenly disappear, but some indicators will indicate progress, and some indicators will indicate regression in digging out of the recession hole.  Best of trading to all.

Some interesting announcements on today’s docket, especially early on in the day.  Again, some possible market volatility as the market digest where we stand in the current recession.

The FOMC is going to make some statements regarding interests rates and whether or not they are going to continue some of the programs that have kept the economy on life support.  I would think it would be important to know about when those announcements will be made, as the market usually goes into unpredictable gyrations on news from the Fed.
The general consensus is that the Fed will pretty much stay the course, but many are looking at the Fed’s programs of buying treasuries…etc.  So it ought to be an interesting day.  For once, I will need to trade more than just the chart in front of me, as these external announcements send the market careening willy-nilly.  Usually on fairly irrelevant news.
