11am update - bears lacking downside power

US indexes are pushing upward, if slowly. First upside target is the sp'1884 high, a break of that opens up 1895/1900 by the close of today..and the month. Metals are weak, Gold -$7, with Silver -2.0%. Oil is weak, -1%. The VIX is set to turn red.

Nasdaq, daily


Summary

*I'm more inclined to watch the Nasdaq, as a clearer sign that Monday was a key floor

Suffice to say, equity bears should be somewhat dismayed at the markets response to what was a relatively dire GDP number.

Yet, ADP jobs and the Chicago PMI came in okay, so..there was that.

Anyway...the FOMC announcement..2pm...but then..we know what is coming, the unknown is how will the market trade into the daily/monthly close.

Considering the Monday daily closing candle, I'm still inclined to believe we'll keep pushing upwrd.
