US indices launched today's session sharply lower and the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones are on pace to post a losing week after the Federal Reserve’s latest policy update. Indexes extended recent losses after St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said on CNBC that he sees an initial interest rate increase happening in late-2022 and that it would take the Fed several meetings to figure out how to pare back stimulus. Meanwhile Treasury yields fell from recent weekly highs to 1.50%.
US2000 fell sharply during today’s session and is approaching major support at 2248 pts which coincides with 200 SMA (red line) and 38.2 Fibonacci retracement of the entire upward wave which started in mid-May. Should break lower occur, then downward may be extended to the support at 2200 pts. On the other hand, if buyers will manage to halt declines, then another upward move towards resistance at 2305 pts may be launched. Source: xStation5
