Seldom is emini trading this easy

Another FOMC session has passed, the third straight where your Fed taking no action at all. Ahead next week we have end-month / end-year for some big funds, then mid-term elections the week to follow. Sprinkled in between there are the usual cast of econ reports. No shortage of reasons for traders to knee-jerk price action both directions, while the current trend remains decidedly up.

All valid trade signals yesterday were buy signals off daily pivot points. Seldom is emini trading this simple / easy, but once in awhile these conditions come along. The FOMC event offered nothing new, no market surprises so therefore no major directional price breaks in response.

When all said & done, price action went right back to session highs in the same manner it has done since this pole vault rally began.

Daily chart view shows the ES (and therefore YM) posting a straight-up ascent with no pause. Meanwhile, the ER (and NQ) lag noticeably behind. Either trees grow to heaven these days, or the correction when it comes will be equally steep. In any event, trading is quite simple right now: buy the dips, period. We don't really need to know much more than that, similar to entrenched sell offs when every lift to resistance gets sold. This period in time is the perfect reverse of that.

Not much new to relate on the market front. Expect tapes to remain propped at least thru next Tuesday, more likely past election Tuesday to follow. Where this current rally may pause or end is unknown. What we do know for sure is that buying dips is working like crazy, and has worked real well for quite some time. As always, follow the chart signals in your viable trading approach and let the trends begin & end where they may.
