<i>"That said this week doesnt really mean much in the grand scheme of things as everyone is in the Hamptons already and there is no volume up or down."</i>
Yes and no. There was nil volume on the up-sessions past two weeks, while yesterday the ES traded 2mil contracts on the way down.
Markets should be drifting higher on light volume if they have a bullish bent, not selling off three days' cumulative volume in one session.
This current oversold, dead-cat bounce was propped on hope of a bonafide interest-rate cut 9/18 or earlier. If the fed meeting comes and there is no change in policy, from 2:16pm there thru 9/19 close of trading might be the biggest price move inside a 9-hour stretch of trading we've seen in ten years.
