US Market Key Charts (S&P, US Dollar, Gold)
US Equities (4 Hour Chart) -[BULLISH ↗ ***]As expected, $E-mini S&P 500 Futures(DEC4) (ESmain.US)$ pushed higher, reached and even surpassed previous target. We maintain our bullish directional bias with a high conviction. S&P futures is expected to hold above 5440.00 support before pushing higher towards 5560.00 resistance.

Alternatively: A 4 hour candlestick close below 5440.00 support will open a deeper pullback towards next support at 5375.25.
US Dollar (4 Hour Chart) -[NEUTRAL]As expected, $USD (USDindex.FX)$ pushed higher and reached previous target. With DXY now trading within a wide range and no clear support and resistance levels nearby, we prefer to turn neutral for now between 105.100 resistance and 104.415 support. Only a candlestick close above 105.102 resistance will see a further push higher towards 105.500 resistance.
Alternatively: A 4 hour candlestick close below 104.415 support will open a correction towards next support at 104.000.

Summary - What Is Happening In The Markets
The US Fed last night opted to keep interest rates unchanged, much in line with the market's expectations. This despite the fact that earlier in the trading day, US CPI data came out softer than expected. It was a unique trading day that no matter the decision, US stock markets would have rallied higher. Even if the interest rates were cut, the initial reaction would have been a short term pullback followed by a rally in line with the bullish momentum. $E-mini S&P 500 Futures(DEC4) (ESmain.US)$ and $E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures(DEC4) (NQmain.US)$ both added +1.02% and +1.88% respectively. With the key event of the week behind us, traders will now be looking towards unemployment claims and PPI data tonight.Asian markets opened this morning with a strong risk-on sentiment as well. $HSI Futures(DEC4) (HSImain.HK)$ edged higher by +0.63% with the consumer, tech and finance sectors showing the biggest gains with Chinese data expected later today. $FTSE Singapore Straits Time Index (.STI.SG)$ climbed by +0.59% as the REITs sector lifted the index along with GDP showing a slightly higher growth year on year. $Nikkei 225 (.N225.JP)$ index added +0.14% this morning as well mirroring the rise in the US markets. However Japanese investors are taking a more cautious approach as the BoJ interest rate decision will be taking place tomorrow.

追跌杀涨 : sti is rebound.
Trader’s Edge OP 追跌杀涨 : The reply to this will always be.. It depends. It depends on the timeframe of the trader/investor. Which is why support/resistance levels are so important. As long as STI is holding below 3335.00 resistance, we prefer to stay short term bearish for now. - Isaac
