Market Monitor shows good buying pressure

Wednesday was Fed interest rate decision day. The overseas market on Wednesday built on their Tuesday gains, however US futures were subdued early morning and in early trading stocks opened lower from the massive gains from earlier day. The market came off low by 10.30 and went sideways till Fed rate decision.

Fed cut rate by half a point. This news was priced in to the market. The rally on Tuesday was in anticipation of this cut. Initial reaction was negative. Then the market attempted a rally. It seemed like we will close positive and then things just went crazy. In 10-12 minutes the Index dropped 400 points.

Market Monitor 4% breakout ratio for the day is 758/235. Which indicates very good buying pressure. Unlike last bounce, this bounce has much better breadth. That is a encouraging sign. At this stage market is focused on beaten down stocks. Stocks from bottom twenty sector with more than 50% drop from six month high had some of the best moves today. The casino sector stocks like MGM,LVS, PNK , PENN, etc had very big one day moves.
