E-mini S&P (December) \/ E-mini NQ (December)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

S&P, yesterday\u2019s close: Settled at 6925.75, up 17.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NQ, yesterday\u2019s close: Settled at 26,163.50, up 199.75<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates by 25bps at 1:00 pm CT, and Fed Chair Powell begins his press conference at 1:30 pm CT. After the closing bell, MSFT, GOOG, and META, three of the top six companies by market cap, will report Q3 earnings. I won\u2019t sit here and call today the most critical day of the year thus far, as this year has certainly already brought its fair share, but today will make an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures finished yesterday strong and have held a bid in the overnight. E-mini S&P futures are testing our next upside target at 6948.25, the 50% extension of the October 9-10th range. Rather than defining what may keep this tape contained, we are better off defining what may continue to fuel the rally. First support for both the E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ is a major three-star level and aligned with settlement. Below there, our near-term line in the sand is major three-star support at 6901.50-6903 in the E-mini S&P and 25,963-26,012 in the E-mini NQ; while out above yesterday\u2019s lows the tape is bullish across all time frames. However, a close below these marks could set up for a healthy back and fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
