ChartPros Market Insights

There's been a long running debate between the technical analysis chartists and the fundamentalists and both sides can make their case for being "right".  Both sides often think that their way is best and the other side is full of you know what...

Since no one can predict the future how did the recent Federal Reserve's hawkish position on interest rates that's filled the news just so happen to occur during a time when chartists like us were anticipating a potential pull back? 

(This is an updated post to include recent news and recent charts because this scenario occurs over and over again...)

Today at 2pm eastern the US Federal Reserve will announce its decision on whether or not to change interest rates.  The announcement is followed by a press conference with Fed Chair Jay Powell.

Seems like each one of these interest rate, inflation, or employment related news days lately brings with it more and more volatility with the same old question of "how much higher can the markets go?"
