Grinding Higher: Bulls Hold the Line Ahead of Fed Day

First key support in the E-mini NQ will also be yesterday’s settlement at 23,491. Price action is currently out above our Pivot and point of balance, and we will closely monitor these levels; any surrender could reintroduce a similar trade to midday yesterday. Additionally, a hold above these levels at…
