..........................................................................................

The market continues to climb after the Fed decided to hold steady on interest rates.
?
And since bottoming at the 2,125 level, the S & P 500is almost back to the 2,187.50 level.
?
With a high yesterday of 2,179.99, it is within 7.50 points of that level.
?
With the upmove in the markets, the VIX has now fallen off a cliff.? The VIX closed under 12.50, at 12.02.
?
The question now is what is the next news event that will rattle the markets?
?
You have to think something is coming because the VIX is now back at all time lows.
?
I mentioned that short term resistance is around the 2,168area and the S & P 500 blew right through that.? At this point, that now becomes support.
?
Yesterday, you should have sold next week's $17 call on ETE. That mean we have three positions expiring next Friday.
?
Continue to follow the levels.
?
Here are the key levels for the markets.
?
VIX:?
?
Major level - 18.75 *
Minor level - 17.96 *

Major level - 15.63?
Minor level - 14.85?
Minor level - 13.28?
Major level - 12.50?
Minor level - 11.72
?
The VIX broke under the major 12.50 level.It will need two closes under 11.72 to move down to 9.38.
?
12.50 should act as resistance, along with 14.06.break under 12.50, a move to 9.38 should be forthcoming.
?

?
Major level - 2,250.00

Major level - 2,125.00?
Minor level - 2,109.38?

?
Watch how the S & P 500 reacts around the2,187.50 level, which is the current objective.
?
Minor support exists at 2,171.90.
?
If the S & P 500 takes out the 2,193.81 prior high, it paves the way for the move up to 2,250.
?
Buy against support. ?

95.70 is a short term support level and the FXY held support at that level yesterday.

A break under 95.70 and expect the FXY to head lower.? If that level holds as support, look fora move up to 97.
