Thanks. That churn between 76 and 81 was annoying, key is not to get chopped up.

Support now broken. I suspect The Market will attempt to shake out weak hands before following thru, tomorrow afternoon.

Going to chop around in a fairly narrow range (75-81 perhaps) until FOMC announcement, obviously. I am tempted to buy a break of 1381.75, with an immediate target of 1385, and then perhaps 1389 (less of a chance). However, if we break 1375 it would be a better sell.

might be no announcement, just a lot of fed speak

Where is Laissez Faire to give us a play by play?

Yeah, I don't think they're going to do much in the way of additional easing right now(i.e. QE3), other than extending the low rate pledge. I am long ZB straddles going into this week as a play on rising vol due to Fed, ECB, jobs number. A slight loser so far.
