There was a broad market sell-off after economic data related to inflation was released. This CPI report was a lot worse than expected. And it shows that, in the eyes of the consumer, inflation is high. This is bad for markets. It is still a lower CPI reading than last month which is good. But the market reacted very bearishly.
You can see in the picture below how the price began to sell off near a short-term resistance level. And the price came all the way down to the nearest short-term support level. As a technical trader this was the perfect setup for a quick day trade. But now the price is resting just above a long-term upward trending support. Which direction will the market go next?
I also want to point out that even if you were not following the economic data but you were still following the short-term trends and technical patterns then you still would have been able to find a good short opportunity today. You can see the upward trending price channel on the 1-hour candles directly below. As soon as the CPI data report was released the price of the S&P 500 rejected the local resistance level and broke down below the support of this 1-hour price channel. And the price continued to fall making any short trade very profitable today.
In the chart directly below I have highlighted the nearest two majors support levels to watch out for. These are the levels I believe there might be buyers to provide some demand. Of course that depends if the price continues to fall From the upward trading support level that the price is near. I have highlighted the upward trending support by the purple line.
I was assuming the long-term price action of S&P 500 would look like the chart below. But after a very bearish day like today I am questioning if the price action will stay within this long-term wedge formation. It could possibly depend on the inflation data releasing tomorrow morning at 6:30 Eastern US time zone. After today's big move following the inflation data was released I believe tomorrow's price action will be greatly dependent on the economic data that will come out before the market opens.

Im not sure if it is a quadruple witching, or a triple witching or a double. but on witching days the market re-balancing will take place all day. and sometimes all week in the quad witching days at the end of the first half and the end of the second half. But at the end of intraday trading is when all of the contracts that expire that day will close or execute.
