Advance was halted at the 50-hour moving average (green line) and the index started to move lower. A steep drop that occurred after opening of today's cash session was later halted and a double bottom surfaced in the 15,870 pts. A sideways move in the 15,850-16,000 pts range cannot be ruled out until a catalyst for a bigger move surfaces. Powell's confirmation hearings tomorrow and US CPI reading on Wednesday could provide fuel for bigger moves. However, investors should focus on the limit of the aforementioned range for now.
