Some of you may wonder why I follow the standard deviation levels. After years of trading and looking at and paying for many different services, I have found the most reliable level is the 1 standard deviation level based on implied volatility(Historic is good to know also).

$SPX if you think the rally after the FOMC number was unusual you would be correct. Today's low after the announcement was made at 2:35 pm et, 4153.46 ,the high was made at 3:53 pm et, 4307.66. 154.20 pts the 2nd largest post 2 pm, range in 25 years(since 1997).

$VIX Volatility spikes and causes, 1990 - 2021. Not on the Chart but the first one I remember after getting out of school, in 1982 Penn Square Bank took down Continential Illinois Bank in Chicago. The CBOT and the CME were both at risk.

$ES current objective is 4299.66, should we get an hourly close under that it may try for the next objective of 4276.71. It will have to go through a daily level and 1 SD level first. An early turn around signal would be an hourly close above 4314.00.

$SPX low of the day so far is 3886.75 . Below that price and the Puts are so greatly out of balance with the calls that if trading down there this afternoon all of those puts go from 0 gamma to 1. That is one huge monster down below the lows.

@citizenboog Long term I am very bullish, but right now without intervention there is going to be a pullback. It may have to bounce back a tad higher first, but this month's low is not in and this could very well turn into a major correction. Years ago it would have been setup for a big down

If the ES fails to close this hour on the highs. It is less likely that a bullish engulfing candle forms on the monthly chart. If that is the case then there is a good chance that there will be new lows made in August or September.
